Chapter 13 Problem 13-103

Question

The timber column has a square cross section and is assumed to be pin connected at its top and bottom. If it supports an axial load of 50 kip, determine its smallest side dimension a to the nearest \(\frac{1}{2} \text { in }\). Use the NFPA formulas.

Solution

Step 1 of 5)

The first step in solving 13 problem number 103 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The timber column has a square cross section and is assumed to be pin connected at its top and bottom.
