Lateral torsional buckling resistance

Non-dimensional beam slendernesses is determined using the simplified approach given in NCCI SN0026and Reference 2 as follows: NCCI SN002

For Class 1 or 2 sections, ,BN,= 1.0. Conservatively for I-sections, take UV = 0.9. For the ratio of end moments v =0, 1I& = 0.75 ,from Table 6.4 of Reference 2 see also Chapter 17.

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

A,, ,,,= 0.4.

Clearly the lateral torsional buckling resistance is insufficient. This may be Lmproved by adding bracing to reduce the minor axis buckling length and hence
