Laterally unsupported spec STAAD
Laterally unsupported spec STAAD
(OP)
Hi guys,
What is the easiest way of extending a members effective length for a laterally unsupported situation? Like two members in the bottomcord of a truss. I don't get that comand in steel designer, maybe I'm just doing it wrong. Any help?
Cheers

Example: If member 100 is unbraced for 20 ft. along the strong axis and you want to make the effective length 22 ft. use "Lz 22 Member 100" in the input file.
