Designing a Laterally Restrained Steel Beam

Posted on 2 June 20202 June 2020 by Omotoriogun Victor

Understanding the design of steel beams depend to a large extent on whether the compression flange is laterally restrained or not. This is because when a steel beam is subjected to flexure, there is a tendency for it to buckle along its length.
