viewed on the page. Thus the moments in this example are negative at
end A and positive at end B.
The convention for internal bending moments is that positive moment
induces compression in the top flange. ψ is the ratio between the internal
bending moments at the two ends and in this example its value is positive.
The beam is a UKB profile in bending about the strong axis. It is laterally
restrained at the supports only. This example includes :
- the classification of the cross-section,
- the calculation of bending resistance, including the simplified
method for lateral torsional buckling,
- the calculation of shear resistance, including shear buckling
resistance,
- the calculation of the deflection at serviceability limit state.

Yield strength
Steel grade S275 EN 1993-1-1
The maximum thickness is 17.7 mm < 40 mm, so : fy = 275 N/mm2 Table 3.1
Note : When published, the National Annex may impose either the values of
fy from the Table 3.1 or the values from the product standard. Here,

Section classification :

The parameter ε is derived from the yield strength : ε = = 0.92 Table 5.2

Outstand flange : flange under uniform compression
c = (b – tw – 2 r) / 2 = (191.9 – 10.5 – 2 × 10.2) / 2 = 80.5 mm
c/tf = 80.5 / 17.7 = 4.55 < 9 ε = 8.28 Class 1
The class of the cross-section is the highest class (i.e. the least favourable)
between the flange and the web, here : Class 1
So the ULS verifications should be based on the plastic resistance of the
cross-section since the Class is 1.

Moment resistance
The design resistance for bending of a cross section is given by : EN 1993-1-1
§ 6.2.5
Mc,Rd = Mpl,Rd = Wpl,y fy / γM0 = (2013.6 × 275 / 1.0) / 1000
Mc,Rd = 553.74 kNm
My,Ed / Mc,Rd = 89.3 / 553.74 = 0.161 < 1 OK
Non-dimensional slenderness
The non-dimensional slenderness may be obtained from the simplified
method for steel grade S275:

Example: Unrestrained beam with end moments (GB)
αLT is the imperfection factor for LTB. When applying the method for rolled EN 1993-1-1
profiles, the LTB curve has to be selected from the table 6.5 : Table 6.5
For h/b = 463.4 / 191.9 = 2.41 > 2 use curve c (αLT = 0.49) Table 6.3
The influence of the moment distribution on the design buckling resistance EN 1993-1-1
moment of the beam is taken into account through the f-factor : § 6.3.2.3 (2)

So : f = 1 – 0.5 (1 – 0.901) [1 – 2 × (2.38 – 0.8)2] = 1.198 > 1 so f = 1.0
Shear Resistance
In the absence of torsion, the shear plastic resistance depends on the shear
area, which is given by: EN 1993-1-1
Av,z = A – 2 b tf + (tw + 2 r) tf § 6.2.6 (3)
Av,z = 11380 – 2 × 191.9 × 17.7 + (10.5 + 2 × 10.2) × 17.7 = 5133 mm2

This deflection may be expressed as L/1400
Note 1 : The limits of deflection should be specified by the client. The EN 1993-1-1
National Annex may specify some limits when it is published. § 7.2.1
Note 2 : Concerning vibrations, the National Annex may specify limits EN 1993-1-1
concerning the frequency. Here the total deflection is so low that § 7.2.3
there is no problem of vibration. Generally, designers should consult
the National Annex.
