This question is related to steel design which is a civil engineering course.

3. The column shown below at the ground level is 6000 mm long and carries a factored axial load of 3000 kN. The girders (W610x113) span 8000 and 7000 mm respectively, and are rigidly connected to the column flanges at both ends (continuous at the far end). The column can be considered as fixed at the base and adequately braced in the weak direction. Design the column using a W-shape and Grade 350W steel for the lightest section permissible. Assume the same column is extended beyond the first floor. The column on the first floor is 5000 mm long. Calculate the factored compression resistance of the selected section to verify that it meets the requirement. 8000 7000 -kg-soooo ODOS E 1 *W610x13 W610X113 OQOg
