5.62 CHAPTER 5 ~ Structural Steel SECTION 506 ‘DESIGN OF MEMBERS FOR FLEXURE 506.1 General Provisions The design flexural strength, GM, and the allowable flexural strength, My,/Mp, shal be determined as follows: 1. Forall provisions inthis setion 5 =0.90(LRFD) ‘y= 1.67(ASD) and the nominal flexural strength, My, shall be determined according t Section 506.2 through Section $06.12. 2. The provisions in this section are based on the assumption that points of support for beams and girders are restrained against rotation about their longitudinal axis. ‘The following terms are common to the equations in this section except where noted: Cy = laterabtorsional buckling modification fuctor for sonunifirm moment diagrams ‘when both ends of the unsupported segment are braced _ 12.5Mmax h “ 25Mmax + 3M, + 4M, +3M, ™ <3.0 Cy (506.1-1) where Mymax ~ Ssolute value of maximum moment in the unbraced segment, N-mm My = absolute vale of moment at quarter point of the unbraced segment, N-mm Me absolute value of moment at centerline ‘ofthe unbraced segment, N-mm Mc = absolute value of moment at three- {quarter point of the unbraced segment, N-mm Ry > cross-section monosymmetry parameter 1.0, doubly symmetric members = 1.0, singly symmetric members subjected to single curvature bending. In singly symmetric members subjected to reverse curvature bending, the Iateral-torsional buckling strength shall be checked for both flanges. The available flexural strength shall be greater than or equal to the maximum required moment causing compression ‘within the flange under consideration. Gp is permitted to be conservatively taken as 1.0 forall cases. For cantilevers or overhangs where the free end is unbraced, Cy = 1.0. User Note: For doubly symmetie members with no transverse loading between brace points, Eq. 506.1-1 reduces to 2.27 forthe ease of equal end moments of ‘opposite sign and to 1.67 when one end moment equals 20. ‘Association of Structural Engineers ofthe Philippines, inc.
