Question:

Select a steel wide-flange column of nominal depth 360 mm (W 360 shape) to support an axial load P = 1100 kN (see figure). The column has pinned ends and length L = 6 m. Assume E = 200 GPa and (Y = 340 MPa. (The selection of columns is limited to those listed in Table E-1 (b), Appendix E.)
