Scope
The example covers an I-section rolled profile beam, bending about the strong
axis and restrained laterally at the supports only. The example includes :
- the classification of the cross-section,
- the calculation of bending resistance, including the exact
calculation of the elastic critical moment for lateral torsional
buckling,
- the calculation of shear resistance,

Basic data
Design a non composite secondary floor beam of a multi-storey building
according to the data given below. The beam is assumed to be laterally
supported at the ends only.

Yield strength
Steel grade S235 EN 1993-1-1
The maximum thickness is 11,5 mm < 40 mm, so : fy = 235 N/mm2 Table 3.1
Note : The National Annex may impose either the values of fy from the
Table 3.1 or the values from the product standard.

Section classification :

Moment resistance
The design resistance for bending of a cross section is given by : EN 1993-1-1
Mc,Rd = Mpl,Rd = Wpl,y fy / M0 = (804,3 235 / 1,0) / 1000 6.2.5
Mc.Rd = 189,01 kNm
My,Ed / Mc,Rd = 90,48 / 189,01 = 0,479 < 1 OK

LT is the imperfection factor for LTB. When applying the method for rolled EN 1993-1-1
profiles, the LTB curve has to be selected from the table 6.5 : Table 6.5
For h/b = 330 / 160 = 2,06 > 2 Curve c (LT = 0,49) Table 6.3
LT,0 = 0,4 and = 0,75
Note : the values of LT,0 and may be given in the National Annex. The
recommended values are 0,4 and 0,75 respectively.

and : LT = 0,480 < 1 / LT = 0,603 OK
The influence of the moment distribution on the design buckling resistance EN 1993-1-1
moment of the beam is taken into account through the f-factor : 6.3.2.3 (2)
