Using NCCI SN002 (Method 3 of Reference 7),lateral torsional buckling

slenderness is defined as:

For class I or 2 sections, = 1.0. Conservatively ,for I-sections, take UV = 0.9. For
the ratio of end moments ty =377/406 = 0.93, 1I& = 0.98 (by interpolation)
from Table 16.7 (Table 6.4 of Reference 7).

Buckling curve selection:

h / h = 462.0/154.4 = 2.99
For the case of rolled and equivalent welded sections, for I-sections with
2 < h / h 53.1, use buckling curve 'c' ( a = 0.49).
For rolled sections, p = 0.75 and
