It is desired to use a 12-in.W-shape for a column to support a beam. Select a trial size for the column for the following data: column factored axial load from above is 485 kips, factored beam reaction is 100 kips, and unbraced column height is 18ft.
* Check the section found to see if it complies with
the AISC interaction equations for axial compression plus bending.*
