Column Design Quiz

The document provides instructions for a structural engineering problem involving the analysis of a column member under various loads. It asks the student to determine the available strength capacities of the cross-section for compression and bending using Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) methodology. It also asks the student to calculate the moment modification factor and minimum live load the column can support, given design criteria and member properties including its cross-sectional properties and material yield strength.
