# Input parameters

Icon Type Name Description
BucklingFactorsParam Buckling Factors Buckling Factors Equivalent uniform moment factor for LTB for 1D Member parameter
NumberParam Number Factor Lsy Moment Amplification Factor, Strong Axis
NumberParam Number Factor Lsz Moment Amplification Factor, Weak Axis
NumberParam Number Equivalent uniform moment factor for LTB Override the automatically calculated factor to account for the shape of the moment diagram in lateral torsional buckling design equations. This override is applied for all bending segments in the member. This override is applied to the following variable for each design code:
AISC 360: C_b
AS 4100: alpha_m
BS 5950: m_LT
CSA S16: omega_2
EN 1993-1-1 and EN 1993-1-2: C_1
Hong Kong Code of Practice: m_LT
IS 800: C_mLT
SANS 10162-1: omega_2
