these 4 post are acting on a single w14x120. Base plates are between post and the w14x120. Its a circular column with 22" diameter. The 2 columns sits side by side with each other. total length of the w14x120 is 25'. distance between the 2 sets of post is about 18'. hope this help. thanks...
I have a temp structure where my 4 post carry 186 kips each and being supported by a w14x120x25' beam. Under the each post is a 2'x2'x3/4" base plate. I am worried about shear and flange buckling, is this a concern? How do I approach this checking?
