Effect of shear restraint of the lateral torsional buckling resistance
- Contents
It is known that the lateral torsional buckling resistance of a simple supported beam can be significantly increased if its compressed flange is connected adequately to a trapezoidal decking.
Eurocode allows to consider the compressed flange as fully restrained laterally, if the following condition is met (EN 1993-1-1 BB2.):
If the condition is not met, Eurocode doesn’t provide too much guidance how the contribution of a less rigid sheeting can be considered.
