Beam Design 3 (Unrestrained Beam)

This document discusses unrestrained beam design. It explains that unrestrained beams can experience the phenomenon of lateral-torsional buckling due to lack of restraint along the beam span. The document covers causes of lateral-torsional buckling including section type, restraint conditions, and load type. It also discusses factors that make lateral-torsional buckling less important as well as the design procedure for checking the resistance of unrestrained beams.

UNRESTRAINED BEAM
 What cause to the lateral-torsional buckling (LTB)

-The compression of the beam’s flange is not fully restrained along the span
-Depends on the:
**section type
**unrestrained length
**restraint conditions
**type of applied load

UNRESTRAINED BEAM
 Lateral-torsional buckling (LTB) not important

**The section is bent about the minor axis


**Full lateral restraint is provided to the compression flange
**Closely spaced bracing is provided
**The section has high torsional & lateral bending stiffness

BEAM DESIGN
 Design of unrestrained beams

*Analyse the beam, find the maximum shear force (VEd) & maximum
moment (MEd)
*Select suitable steel UB section (Steel Data Design)
*Classify the section (Table 5.2 BS EN 1993-1-1:2005)
*Check bending moment resistance (Cl 6.2.5 BS EN 1993-1-1:2005)
*Check torsional buckling (Cl 6.3.2.2 BS EN 1993-1-1:2005)
*Check shear resistance (Cl 6.2.6 BS EN 1993-1-1:2005)
*Check shear buckling resistance of web (Cl 6.2.6 (6)BS EN 1993-1-1:2005)
*Check combination of shear and moment (Cl 6.2.8 BS EN 1993-1-1:2005)
*Check deflection (NA.2.23 BS EN 1993-1-1:2005)
