    This document outlines the design of flexural members. It discusses selecting member sizes to meet strength and serviceability requirements. The nominal flexural strength is based on yielding, lateral-torsional buckling, and local buckling. It also discusses procedures for calculating flexural capacity using the LRFD method, including determining whether the cross-section is compact, checking for lateral-torsional buckling, and calculating the nominal flexural strength based on the unbraced length and buckling mode.

    DESIGN OF

    FLEXURAL
    MEMBERS
    NSCP 2015 – SECTION 506
    A. General Provisions
    Member sizes shall be selected ensuring all design criteria have met
    including serviceability requirements and strength, which is calculated
    as the design flexural strength, or the allowable flexural strength, :

    = the lowest nominal flexural strength based on the limit states of yielding,
    lateral torsional –buckling and local buckling, where applicable.
    = 0.90 (LRFD)
    = 1.67 (ASD)
    The term shall mean the length between points which are either
    braced against lateral displacement of the compression flanged or
    braced against twisting of the cross section.
    Failure normally happens by
    a. yielding of the material and formation of plastic hinge and a collapse
    mechanism;
    b. lateral torsional buckling; and
    c. local buckling of the flange or web of the beam that is not compact.
    Adequate lateral bracing of a beam will ensure that full plasticity is
    achieved prior to literal-torsional buckling occurring. Using a shape
    that is compact will ensure that full plasticity is achieve prior to
    flange or web local buckling.
    The elastic flexural strength of the section is based on the plastic
    and elastic relationship of W- shaped sections wherein the shape
    factor ranges from 1.10 to 1.30. Using a conservative value of SF=
    1.10, The allowable stress design may be derived as follows:

    The allowable flexural strength is the calculated as;

    Therefore, the allowable flexural stress is:


    B. Procedures in Design
    The following paragraphs summarize the steps undertaken in
    calculating the capacity of a flexural element using LRFD method.
    Step 1: Determine whether the selected or given shape is compact or
    non-compact. The verification shall be carried out for the flanges as
    well as for the web.
    Step 2: a. If the shape is compact, check for lateral-torsional buckling
    as per the provision stated in the code.
    The plastic mode occurs when the beam is adequately braced to
    prevent lateral-torsional buckling. When the distance between
    braces does not exceed , yielding of the steel occurs over the full
    depth of the beam at the point of maximum moment. The full plastic
    moment is developed and the nominal flexural strength of the beam
    is =  
    b. If , inelastic lateral-torsional buckling occurs. can be calculates as
    follows:
    When the distance between braces exceeds and is less than , the
    limiting laterally unbraced length for the limit state of inelastic
    lateral-torsional buckling, collapse occurs prior to the development
    of the full plastic moment. When the nominal flexural strength of
    the beam is .

    Where:
    is the lateral-torsional buckling modification factor.
    Where:
    absolute value of maximum moment in the unbraced segment, N-mm
    absolute value of moment at quarter point of the unbraced segment, N-mm
    = absolute value of moment at centreline of the unbraced segment, N-mm
    = absolute value of moment at three-quarter point of the unbraced segment, N-mm
    = cross-section mono-symmetry parameter (1.0 for doubly symmetric members, 1.0 for
    singly symmetric members subjected to single curvature bending)
    =
    = for singly-symmetric shapes subject to reverse-curvature bending
    = moment of inertia of the compression flange about the y-axis. For doubly-symmetric
    shapes, . For reverse-curvature bending of singly-symmetric I-shape sections, is the
    moment of inertia of the smaller flange.
    Note: When the beam moment is uniform, the value of Cb=1.0
    where Rm=1.0.
    (1.0) =1.0
     
    c. If Lb>Lr, elastic lateral –torsional buckling occurs. Allowable
    bending moment is calculated as follows:
     
    Mn = F crSx Mp
    Where:
    When the distance between braces exceeds and is less than , the
    limiting laterally unbraced length for the limit state of inelastic
    lateral-torsional buckling, collapse occurs prior to the development
    of the full plastic moment. When the nominal flexural strength of
    the beam is .

    Where:
    is the lateral-torsional buckling modification factor.
    When the distance between braces exceeds and is less than , the
    limiting laterally unbraced length for the limit state of inelastic
    lateral-torsional buckling, collapse occurs prior to the development
    of the full plastic moment. When the nominal flexural strength of
    the beam is .

    Where:
    is the lateral-torsional buckling modification factor.
