Rm
= 1.0 for doubly-symmetric members (e.g., W-shapes)
Cb is has no units and is a function of only the shape of the B.M.D.
See AISC - F1 for singly symmetric members.
EXCEPTION:
For cantilevers with an unbraced free end, Cb = 1, irrespective of the shape of the
bending moment diagram.
M nLTB = Cb M nLTB ( Cb = 1)
where
M nLTB (Cb = 1) = lateral torsional buckling strength under uniform moment.

4 spans to check!
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
For each span check that:
Mu bMn
Find bMn
Note:
Generally, need to check only one span
Largest Mu
Controlling span
Smallest Cb
Largest Lb
HOW?
Use equations
cumbersome; avoid if
possible
