Condition for Beam Lateral Stability

• 1 Laterally Supported Beam The design bending strength of beams, adequately supported against lateral torsional buckling (laterally supported beam) is governed by the yield stress

• 2 Laterally Unsupported Beams When a beam is not adequately supported against lateral buckling (laterally UN-supported beams) the design bending strength may be governed by lateral torsional buckling strength

Design Steps of Laterally supported Beam

Problem

A simply supported beam 5m span carries UDL load of 40 KN/m. In addition beam carries a central point load of 50 KN. The beam is laterally supported. Design the

section & check section for the shear and deflection.

50 KN

2.5m 2.5m

40KN/m

Step 1: Load calculation

Factored UDL= 1.5 x 40 = 60KN/m

Factored pt load= 1.5 x 50 = 75KN/m

Step 2: calculation of plastic modulus (Zp rquired)

Step 3: selection of the section

Step 4: Check for shear strength

Step 5: Check for design moment capacity

Step 6: Check for Web Buckling

400KN. Load is transferred through base plate of 200mm length . Check limit states.

Section available is ISMB 400

CURTAILMENT OF FLANGE PLATES

When beam subjected to UDL then, maximum bending moment occurs at the centre. Since the values of BM are decreases towards the supports from center .Therefore the flange plates may be curtailed at a distance from the centre of span greater than the distance .It gives economy as regards to the material and cost. At least one flange plate should be run for the entire length of the girder.

EFFECTIVE LATERAL RESTRAINT

Provision of proper lateral bracing improves lateral stabilityDiscrete and continuous bracingCross sectional distortion in the hogging moment region

Discrete bracing• Level of attachment to the beam• Level of application of the transverse load• Type of connection

Properties of the beams• Bracing should be of sufficient stiffness to produce

buckling between braces• Sufficient strength to withstand force transformed by

beam before connecting

Effective bracing if they can resist not less than

1) 1% of the maximum force in the compression flange

2) Couple with lever arm distance between the flange

centroid and force not less than 1% of compression

flange force.

Temporary bracing

BRACING REQUIREMENTS

SUMMARY

• Unrestrained beams , loaded in their stiffer planes may undergo

lateral torsional buckling • The prime factors that influence the buckling strength of beams

are unbraced span, Cross sectional shape, Type of end restraint

and Distribution of moment• A simplified design approach has been presented• Behaviour of real beams, cantilever and continuous beams

was described.• Cases of mono symmetric beams , non uniform beams and

beams with unsymmetric sections were also discussed.
