The \(\mathrm{W} 14 \times 53\) structural A-36 steel column supports an axial load of 80 kip in addition to an eccentric load P. Determine the maximum allowable value of P based on the AISC equations of Sec. 13.6 and Eq. 13–30. Assume the column is fixed at its base, and at its top it is free to sway in the x–z plane while it is pinned in the y–z plane.

Question
The 10-in.-diameter utility pole supports the transformer that has a weight of 600 lb and center of gravity at G. If the pole is fixed to the ground and free at its top, determine if it is adequate according to the NFPA equations of Sec. 13.6 and Eq. 13–30.
Solution
The first step in solving 13.7 problem number 19 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The 10-in.-diameter utility pole supports the transformer that has a weight of 600 lb and center of gravity at G. If the pole is fixed to the ground and free at its top, determine if it is adequate according to the NFPA equations of Sec. 13.6 and Eq. 13–30.
From the textbook chapter DESIGN OF COLUMNS FOR ECCENTRIC LOADING you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
