• If several conditions are met, then inelastic reserve may also be included:
1. No global or distortional buckling occurs (we’ll calculate this later)
2. !" does not include effects of cold-forming (usually the case)

• #$% is the second moment of area about the centroidal axis (parallel to web)
• & is the unbraced length
where -,. = 3 and (,1 based upon yield in compression fiber ((, is conservative)

• Accounts for effects of web angle (!), corner radius ("# ), bearing length ($% ),
and web height slenderness (&')
• The key is in all those () coefficients
• Different tables for Cee, Zed, built-up I-sections, hats, and steel decks
• Note that equation and tables are per web, so box sections, nested Zees, etc
would multiply *% by 2
• +, is not constant and also looked up in the tables!
• With shear stiffeners (only necessary if "∗ ⁄ $% "& > 0.5 and + ∗ ⁄ $, +, > 0.7):
• Notes:
• This "& is NOT what you would calculate in Cl 3.3.1.
• "& = "%/ but without global buckling consideration (assuming globally braced):
0/ = "1 ⁄"2/

• Note that a number of connection and geometric restrictions apply (see Cl 3.3.7(c))
• BUT, nested Z-sections let you use the value calculated via DSM (as in the
flexure & shear interaction):
• First two equations are AS4600-specific, last is straight form the USA’s AISI S100…
• $ is the moment demand due to service loads being considered (up to a max of $% )
• $& = $( except that $( is recalculated replacing all instances of $% with $
