A 50 ksi W14x22 is used as a compression member. The member is pinned at each end and it 8-feet long. Please determine the design strength of the compression member (LRFD). Hint: Local buckling will govern, so local buckling must be checked and the effective area (Ae) must be calculated to determine the nominal compressive strength (Pn)
