Cross-section is Class I under pure compression, so will also be class I under the more favourable stress distribution arising from compression plus bending.

Minor axis column buckling resistance

Effective length:

L,,z = 1.0 L = 1.0 x5000 =5000rnm for buckling about the z-z axis
Non-dimensional column slenderness:

Buckling curve: h / b =254.1/254.6 =1.0 51.2. For minor axis buckling, use buckling curve 'c' ( a = 0.49) Buckling reduction ,factor

Lateral torsional buckling resistance

Non-dimensional beam slendernesses is determined using the simplified approach given in NCCI SN0026 and Reference 2 as follows: NCCI SN002

For Class 1 or 2 sections, ,BN,= 1.0. Conservatively for I-sections, take UV = 0.9 and

c, = 1.0.
