Example 9 - Calculating the design and allowable compressive strength per LRFD and ASD for a pinned column braced in the strong and weak directions

A W12 x 65 which is 27 feet long is pinned at both ends. It is braced in the weak direction at the locations shown in the figure shown below.

Calculate the design and allowable strength per LRFD and ASD respectively.
