    This document contains calculations to check the adequacy of steel columns. It evaluates two columns, a W12x79 and a W14x90/110, under different loading conditions. For the W12x79, it is determined that the required strengths exceed the column's nominal strengths, so it is not adequate. For the W14x90/110, several calculations are shown to check stresses and capacities against required strengths under two load conditions. It is found that the controlling factor is the slenderness ratio.
