________________________________________________________________________ PROBLEM (11.75) Determine the allowable axial load P for a built-up timber column of the cross section shown in Fig. P13.75. The effective length is Le = 15 ft. Given: E = 1.6 x 10 6 psi, σall = 2 ksi SOLUTION Le = 15 ×12 = 180 in. , A = 102 − 7 2 = 51 in.2 Use Eq. (11.32) : 0.3(1.6 × 106 ) σ all = = 1.48 ksi < 2 ksi (18) 2 Thus, Pall = 1.48(51) = 75.5 kips d = 10 in.2 Le d = 18 Excerpts from this work may be reproduced by instructors for distribution on a not-for-profit basis for testing or instructional purposes only to students enrolled in courses for which the textbook has been adopted.
