Problem 2:
A W12 x 72 of A36 steel has a length of 18 feet and end supported as shown.
Compute the design compressive strength for LRFD and sllowable compressive
strength for ASD.
AISC table properties for W12 x 72
Framing configuration
K = 0.80 rx 5.31 ry 3.04
L = 18 feet = 216 in
Note that
Kx Ky
Then since for W shapes rx > ry, the critical buckling length will always
be KL/ry > KL/rx.
216
0.8 56.842 < 200 therefore OK in accordance to minimum KL/r
3.04 which is a limiting value in actual practice

Additional problem:
If the dead load is 175 kips, how much Live load is allowed using ASD? LRFD?
LRFD
DL 175
Pu = 1.2DL + 1.6LL
Pu 1.2 DL
LL LL 229.192
1.6
ASD
Pa = DL + LL
LL Pa DL LL 208.704
Typically it is more advantageous in the economical sense to use LRFD than ASD
