Introduction
A beam can fail by reaching the plastic moment and
becoming fully plastic (see last section) or fail
prematurely by:
1.
LTB, either elastically or inelastically
2.
FLB, either elastically or inelastically
3.
WLB, either elastically or inelastically
If the maximum bending stress is less than the
proportional limit when buckling occurs, the failure
is elastic. Else it is inelastic.
For bending bMn(b = 0.9)

Failure Mode
A beam can buckle
in a lateral-torsional
mode when the
bending moment
exceeds the critical
moment.
