All members of the plane frame in Figure are A36 steel and bend about their strong axis when sidesway buckling occurs. All girders are W27 x 94. The exterior columns are rigidly connected to the girder. The interior columns are pinned at each end, but the girders are continuous (contain no hinges). Weak-axis column bracing is provided only at the column ends. For the factored loads shown, choose the lightest acceptable W14 for each column.
