Find maximum axial compressive load supported by column


A W254X33 structural steel (E=200GPa) section is used for a column with an actual length of 6m. The column can be considered fixed at both ends for bending about the axis of the cross section with the smallest second moment of area and pined at both ends for bending about the axis with the largest second moment of area. Determine the maximum axial compressive load P that can be supported by the column if a factor of safety of 1.9 with resect to failure by buckling is specified.
