Lateral buckling force
Lateral buckling force
(OP)
Hi everyone. I'm trying to calculate the force magnitude of the lateral buckling of a slender steel girder. I know that my beam is going to buckle so I will use lateral support attached to a wall but I dont know how to calculate the strenght of this lateral supports because I need thid force. Thanks for your comments.

I went to the AISC web site but didn't seem to find information on bracing and stiffness requirements. Could you provide a little more information on the title of the document.
I work with wood trusses and deal with questions about truss bracing a lot. The question comes up when bottom chord bracing is not provided.

I'm not sure the meaning of the "brace stiffness" there. Fox example, I calculated BETAbr = 6 kip/in from Eq. (A-6-2) in the Appendix. Does this mean the 6k/in is the minimum EL/A value of the bracing member?

Thank you for the additional information on the AISC web site. I down loaded Appendix 6,which will be helpful to me, in some applications.
