Description
Create a GSA Equivalent uniform moment factor for LTB for 1D Member
Input parameters
 | Number | Factor Lsy | Moment Amplification Factor, Strong Axis |
| Number | Factor Lsz | Moment Amplification Factor, Weak Axis |
| 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 |
