Determine the effective length factor, Kx, for column FG of the frame, assuming that the frame is sidesway inhibited and that all of the assumptions on which the alignment charts were developed are met.Girders BF, CG and DH are W18 x 35 and have a length of L1 = 20 ft.Girders FJ, GK and HL are W21 x 55 and have a length of L2 = 36 ft.Columns AB, EF and IJ are W10 x 88 and have a length of L3 = 16 ft.Columns BC, FG and JK are W10 x 45 and have a length of L4 = 10 ft.Columns CD, GH and KL are W10 x 26 and have a length of L4 = 10 ft.
