Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A W12 120 column is subject to an axial load of 25 kips and a moment of 60 k-ft. Calculate if this section is adequate after verifying all moment capacities and applying moment magnification.
💡 Hint: Make sure to calculate B for moment magnification before checking adequacy.
How would the adequacy change if the yield stress of the material increased to 50 ksi? Recalculate the M_p and M_r and determine the adequacy.
💡 Hint: Analyze how increasing material strength alters moment capacities.
