Determine the adequacy of the square column section shown, if the 16-inch square tied column

has a clear height of 23 feet and serves as an interior column in a braced frame. By determining

the slenderness ratio, decide whether slenderness effects need to be considered, if so, follow

slenderness column design procedure. Use Bresler's reciprocal method to check the adequacy of

the column section.
