Beam-column example 2 Lateral torsional buckling resistance

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

For Class 1 or 2 sections, ,BN,= 1.0. Conservatively for I-sections, take UV = 0.9. For the ratio of end moments = 0, 1I 6 = 0.75 ,from Table 6.4 o,f 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

Combined avial load plus bending:

To verlfy resistance under combined axial loading plus bending, both Equations
6.61 and 6.62 of BS EN 1993-1-1 must be satisfied. The minor axis bending term is absent in this example since Mz,r(j= 0.
