The following slides assume:
Doubly symmetric members

Major axis bending
Non-compact or slender FLANGE

Advanced Beam Non-Compact and Slender Sections AISC Manual 14th Ed
Lateral torsional buckling is not affected by flange local buckling
It is assumed that FLB and LTB can be checked independently.
LTB: Refer to slides for compact sections.
FLB: Refer to the following slides.
The strength is the lowest result from possible failure modes.

Non-compact and slender WEB
7
Advanced Beam Non-Compact and Slender Sections AISC Manual 14th Ed
A slender web is likely to experience some buckling under flexural
loading. When the web buckles, additional flexural strength is still
possible from the non-buckled portions of the cross-section. This
affects the failure modes as follows.
LTB: effective section is reduced due to buckled portion of the web.
FLB: web restraint of the compression flange may be reduced.
The strength is the lowest result from possible failure modes.
