RESTRAINED BEAMS
(MEMBERS IN BENDING)

GENERAL
• Beam usually subjected to gravity loads (permanent

and variable) which result in the section is in
bending.
• Top flange will be in compression, and will try to

buckle. Bottom flange will be in tension, and will try
to remain straight.
• These two actions cause the beam to twist and move

laterally, and this phenomenon is called:
LATERAL TORSIONAL BUCKLING

• If full lateral restraint is provided, lateral
torsional buckling (LTB) is prevented, and the
beam is categorized as:
RESTRAINED BEAMS
• If full lateral restrained is not provided, LTB is

not prevented, and the beam is categorized
as:
UNRESTRAINED BEAMS

• Restrained Beam should be checked for:
i) Adequate lateral restraint
ii) Section classification
iii) Shear resistance of cross section
iv) Moment resistance of cross section
(including co-existing bending and shear)
v) Deflection
vi) Web resistance to transverse forces
(crushing, crippling and buckling)

SHEAR RESISTANCE (6.2.6)
 0.6fy
• Defined as:
Av ( f y / 3)
V pl , Rd 
M0
Av = shear area
M0 = partial safety factor (plastic yielding)
[if webs are thin (d/tw > 72/), shear buckling resistance should be
checked]
8
Shear area, Av
Shear area, Av is in effect the area of the

cross-section that can be mobilised to
resist the applied shear force with a
moderate allowance for plastic
redistribution.
For sections where the load is applied

parallel to the web, this is essentially the
area of the web (with some allowance for
the root radii in rolled sections).
Shear areas, Av
Shear areas Av are given in clause 6.2.6(3).
• Rolled I and H sections, load parallel to web:

Av = A – 2btf + (tw + 2r)tf but ≥ hwtw
• Rolled channel sections, load parallel to web:

Av = A – 2btf + (tw + r)tf
• Rolled RHS of uniform thickness, load parallel to depth:

Av = Ah/(b+h)
• CHS and tubes of uniform thickness:

Av = 2A/
MOMENT RESISTANCE (6.2.5)
- co-existing bending and shear (6.2.8)

• Suggested limits:

other brittle finishes or non-flexible partitions
(L/360 – BS 5950)
L/300 – Floors generally (L/200 – BS 5950)

DESIGN PROCEDURES
• Select section and steel grade

• Determine the design strength, fy
• Check whether the compression flange is laterally
restrained
• Calculate the shear capacity and determine whether
the section is subject to low shear or high shear
• Calculate the moment capacity for low shear or for
high shear as appropriate and verify adequacy
• Calculate the deflections and check against
appropriate limits
• If required, check web resistance to transverse forces
