Proposition of a modified formulation to predict the lateral-torsional buckling resistance of steel beams: meta-analysis of test data [PDF]
Lateral-Torsional Buckling (LTB) is an important limit state that must be considered in the design of steel members subjected to bending. During the process of revising of the Brazilian Standard ABNT NBR 8800:2008, it was questioned whether the present ...
