Lateral torsional buckling checks (Composite beams: BS 5950)

BS 5950 : Part 3 : Section 3.1 : 1990 states that lateral torsional buckling checks are not required when the angle between the direction of span of the beam and that of the profile decking is greater than or equal to 45°.

When the angle is less than this, then lateral torsional buckling checks will normally be required. Tekla Structural Designerallows you to switch off these checks by specifying that the entire length between the supports is continuously restrained against lateral torsional buckling.

If you use this option you must be able to provide justification that the beam is adequately restrained against lateral torsional buckling during construction.

When the checks are required you can position restraints at any point within the length of the main beam and can set the effective length of each sub-beam (the portion of the beam between one restraint and the next) either by giving factors to apply to the physical length of the beam, or by entering the effective length that you want to use. Each sub-beam which is not defined as being continuously restrained is checked in accordance with clause 4.3.8 and Annex B of BS 5950-1:2000.
