Cp Calculation for Beam analysis
Cp Calculation for Beam analysis
(OP)
If Lb falls inbetween Lp and Lr the Cb value is required to find the bending moment. Suppose the applied load to the beam is unsymmetric. I have a simple span with an off center point load.
Is the Cb = 12.5M/(2.5M+3Ma+4Mb+3Mc)Rm equation still valid or should I just rely on the AISC available moment charts.
Thanks guys!

What Cb allows you to do is shift the entire LTB moment curve "up", but never beyond the plastic moment capacity.
