General Provision

The lateral-torsional buckling modification factor, for cantilevers where warping is prevented at the support and where the free end is unbraced changes to 1.0.

 

Lateral-torsional buckling

Lateral torsional buckling for I-shapes with a rectangular compression flange is calculating with the new equation as below:

where:

= width of compression flange

= compression flange thickness

 

Flange local buckling of HSS

New Flange local buckling for box section as below:

 

web local buckling

Section with slender webs

 

New calculation for sections with slender webs are introduced in AISC 2016 F7

Lateral torsional buckling of HSS

A new lateral-torsional buckling is added in AISC 2016. It defines the buckling load for rectangular and HSS sections as below

No lateral-torsional buckling

: the limiting laterally unbraced length for the limit state of yielding

 

Lateral torsional buckling of Tee and double angle

Lateral-torsional buckling of Tee sections modified in AISC 2016 and new calculations introduced in the code. The following shows how we calculate the lateral-torsional buckling for tee section.

 

No lateral torsional buckling

 

for web in compression

 

Local buckling of Tee stem

New section for local buckling of Tees leg in flexural compression is updated as below:
