An 18-kip centric load is applied to a rectangular sawn lumber column of 22-ft effective length. Using sawn lumber for which the adjusted allowable stress for compression parallel to the grain is σ_C = 1050 psi and the adjusted modulus is E = 440 × 10³ psi, determine the smallest cross section that may be used. Use b = 2d.
