Description

The final draft of the EN version of part 1.1 of Eurocode 3 has introduced significant changes in the evaluation of the lateral-torsional buckling resistance of unrestrained beams at room temperature that reduce the over-conservative approach of ENV 1993-1-1 in the case of non-uniform bending. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6V28-4CMYJ6V-3/1/62c8b43b1bfa9671066ce946212592b5
