COMPOSITE COLUMN DESIGN

EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
Determine if the 14-ft.-long encased composite member illustrated below is
adequate for the indicated dead and live loads. The composite member consists of
an ASTM A992 W-shaped section with normal weight (145 lb/ft3) concrete having
a specified compressive strength, fc′ = 5 ksi.
