Homework

1. Class Notes #149
2. Choose one column from your case study building (if you do not have a column anywhere, choose a wall and assume a one foot wide segment of the wall is the object of interest). Determine its geometric and material properties. Answer the following:
   • What is it's buckling length?
   • What is the maxiumum load that it can carry based only on Crushing?
   • What is the maximum load that it can carry based on Buckling?

Lab

• What did you observe?
• Let's take a look at a couple today.

Lecture

• Slides which focus on the following
• Geometric Properties of Columns
• Buckling
