Bending and Shear Check combined bending and shear capacity at points where secondary beams join the primary beam Shear force less than half the plastic shear resistance therefore can be neglected. Lateral-Torsional Buckling Assume secondary beams provide lateral restraint at 4m intervals and that the floor system does not provide restraint. Then use 6.3.2.4 to check for L-T buckling.

Therefore beam fails in buckling.

To prevent this failure use a larger section or provide additional lateral restraint at, say 1.5m intervals, perhaps via the floor system.
