This model involves the design verification of an ASTM A992 14×132 W-shaped column with pinned ends, subjected to axial compression forces. The analysis follows the AISC 2022 standards, specifically Example E.1A, using both LRFD and ASD methods to determine the column's adequacy. The column is pinned at both ends in both axes, ensuring a realistic simulation of structural behavior under the specified loading conditions.
