Unbraced Length
Unbraced Length
(OP)
I have always used inflection points for determining unbraced lengths at negative moment locations on a beam. I was just informed that this is not okay. Can anyone either lead me to a code or standard that discusses this?
Thanks in advance,
Drew

My vote? Don't consider the inflection point to be braced and if you want to be more precise compute Cb.
