7.6.3 Lipped Channel Column
Problem
Determine the nominal axial strength (P
n
) for the channel
section of length 80 in. shown in Figure 7.9, assuming the
channel is loaded concentrically through the centroid of the
effective section and the effective lengths in ¯exure and
torsion are based on lateral and torsional restraints in the
plane of symmetry at mid-height. The nominal yield stress
(F
y
) is 45 ksi. The following section numbers refer to the
AISI Speci®cation.
