Consulting table A-4.1 we select a 14 x 14 with A= 182.3 in 2

Note that the next smallersize, an 8xl0, willNOT work since, even with Cp=0.9, the
capacity ofan 8xl0 is (562.5)(7.5 x 9.5) iii'40,078#which is less than the calculated
loads. Additionally,the Cpfactor willbe smallerfor an 8xlO, further reducing the
capacity.
The correct answer is therefore a lOxIO.
1. b) 2nd-floor column: Same procedure as for 1st-floor column, but need to re-calculate
reduced liveload and CD:
Ai =(30x30) x 1 floor = 900 sq.ft.
reduction coefficient,.".25 + 15/ (900)112= 0.75;
reduced live load, L =80(.75) =60 psf
· (S + L + D)/1.15 "'" [10 + 60 + 2(30)] / 1.15= 113
· (L + D)/1.0 -= [60 + 2(30)] / 1.0= 120
Q-6Astheroofangleincreasesfrom30-degreesto 60-degrees,snowloadis assumedto:
a} Increase; b)decrease; c) stay the same; d) noneoftheabove
r

· second case governs, so CD""1.0 with total load on column (i.e., load per sq. ft
times tributary area) - [60 + 2(30)](15 x 15)- 27.000#.
To select cross-section, first assume Cp;for example, assume Cp= 0.8. Then, F'e=
625(1.0)(0.8) = 500 psi.
Required ar~ A = P / F'e= 27,000 / 500 = 54 in2.
Select 8x8 with A = 56.25 in2and check usil1gactual value ofCp, found as follows:
. F*e= 625(1.0) = 625 psi
.
. FCE = 0.3(1,200,000)/ (10x 12/ 7.si = 1406
.
· A = (1 + 1406/625)/ (2 x 0.8) =2,03
.
. B =(1406/625) / (0.8) =2.81
.
. Cp = 2.03 - (2.032 - 2.81)112 = 0.88.
Since actual Cpis greater than that assumed,the 8x8 willwork; the question is whether a
smaiiercross-section wiDwork.
Note that the next smaller size, a 6x8, will 'NOT work since, even with Cp = 0.88,the
capacity of a 6x8 is [625(1.0)(.88)](5.5 x 7.50) = 22,687#whichislessthanthe calculated
loads. Additionally,the Cpfactor will be smallerfor an 6x8, further reducing the capacity.
The correct answer is therefore an 8x8.

..{./. //
Assumefixedconnections(see Table A-7.1)
SOLUTION
Find capacity of 4x4, fixed ends, with unbraced length computed as follows:
1= (102 + 82)112= 12.8 feet.
With fixedconstraints, the effectivelength is 12.8(0.65) z 8.32 feet (see table A-7.1,
using "code" value of 0.65)
With dead and snow loads, CD= ] .15; CF = ].] 5; CM = 1.0; AND Cpis calculated as
follows:
F
· F*c = 1300(1.] 5)(1.15)(1.0) = ]719 psi
· FCE = 0.3(1,600,000) / (8.32 x 12/3.5)2 = 590
· A =(1 + 590/1719) / (2 x 0.8) =- 0.84
. B = (590/1719) / (0.8) = 0.43
. Cp = 0.84 - (0.842 - 0.43)112= 0.31.
FIe= (F*e)(Cp)= 1719X0.31 = 541 psi
