1.1. Nominal axial compressive strength
Calculate total gross cross-sectional area:
Calculate the center of gravity (geometrical centroid):
Where di is the distance from the centroid of segment i to the reference point (top of the section).
Also due to symmetry about the x axis
Since the section is regular (symmetrical) about the x-axis, the moment capacity associated with the maximum axial compressive strength is equal to zero.
1.2. Factored axial compressive strength
1.3. Maximum (allowable) factored axial compressive strength
