    This document presents the procedure for calculating the allowable bending stress Fb of a standard wide-flange steel beam based on NSCP 2001 provisions. The procedure involves checking if local or lateral-torsional buckling governs based on the member's slenderness ratio, then using the appropriate equations to calculate Fb depending on the member's compactness and the calculated buckling ratios. Fb is limited to a maximum of 0.66Fy for compact sections or 0.60Fy for noncompact or laterally-torsionally buckling sections.

    ALLOWABLE BENDING STRESS IN STEEL BEAMS (NSCP 2001)

    This article presents the steps for computing the allowable bending stress
    Fb of a standard wide-flange steel beam loaded about the major axis based
    on NSCP 2001 provisions. Sometimes, this is not provided in the board
    exams (as in the case of Nov 2018), so you may want to memorize this. :)

    PROCEDURE
    ===========

    Compute Lc = smaller of 200bf/sqrt(Fy) and 138000/(Fy � d/(bf � tf)).

    IF
    Lb < Lc : local buckling may govern (ROUTE 1)
    Lb > Lc : lateral-torsional buckling may govern (ROUTE 2)

    ROUTE 1 : LOCAL BUCKLING

    Check for compactness of the section.

    FOR FLANGES : compute (bf/(2 � tf)) � sqrt(Fy).


    - If < 170, compact flange
    - If > 170 and < 250, partially compact flange
    - If > 250, noncompact flange

    FOR WEBS (seldom checked) : compute (d/tw) � sqrt(Fy) and (h/tw) � sqrt(Fy), where
    usually h = d - 2tf.
    - If (d/tw) � sqrt(Fy) <= 1680, compact web
    - If (d/tw) � sqrt(Fy) > 1680 and (h/tw) � sqrt(Fy) <= 1995, partially compact web
    - If (h/tw) � sqrt(Fy) > 1995, noncompact web

    - For compact sections, Fb = 0.66Fy.


    - For noncompact sections, Fb = 0.60Fy.
    - For partially compact sections, interpolate between 0.66Fy and 0.60Fy for values
    of bf/2tf between 170/sqrt(Fy) and 250/sqrt(Fy).

    ROUTE 2 : LATERAL-TORSIONAL BUCKLING

    First, calculate the moment magnification factor

    Cb = 1.75 + 1.05(Msmaller/Mlarger) + 0.30(Msmaller/Mlarger)^2 <= 2.30

    - For beams loaded in single curvature, the ratio of end moments shall be negative,
    while for double curvature,
    the ratio of moments shall be positive.
    - If end moments are smaller than the maximum moment within the beam, Cb = 1.0.
    - For cantilever beams, Cb = 1.0.

    Then, calculate the slenderness ratio Lb/rt,

    where rt = radius of gyration about the weak axis of the section consisting of
    compression flange plus 1/3 of compression web.

    Have it compared with


    LTBR1 = sqrt(703000Cb/Fy)
    LTBR2 = sqrt(3516000Cb/Fy)
    - If Lb/rt < LTBR1, Fb = 0.60Fy
    - If Lb/rt > LTBR1 and < LTBR2,

    Fb = larger of Fy[2/3 - Fy(Lb/rt)^2/(10.55 � 10^6 Cb)] and 83000Cb/[Lb � d/(bf �


    tf)], but shall be less than 0.60Fy

    - If Lb/rt > LTBR2,

    Fb = larger of (1.17 � 10^6 Cb)/(Lb/rt)^2 and 83000Cb/[Lb � d/(bf � tf)], but shall
    be less than 0.60Fy

    formulas para mabago ko hehe. thaaaaanks :D ]
