A simply supported beam 7.00 m span is laterally supported at the third points and carries un factored uniform loads
of 18.5 kN/m and 9.4 kN/m permanent load. In addition the beam carries at mid span un factored concentrated load
of 50 kN permanent load and 50 kN imposed load. Find a universal beam of grade Fe 430.
Solution:

Determination of Mcr.
Lateral support to the beam is provided at the ends at the third points. Therefore the effective buckling length is
L = span/3 = 7000/3 = 2333 mm.
The critical moment for lateral-torsional buckling is:
