Thanks again for all the input.
I would definitely be exercising caution in such a design case but here is an example (allowed by code) where this scenario would occur.
If you're designing a tubular EBF (ie. totally unrestrained along its length except at the ends and at the braces along the...
Thank you all for your input.
The question is a theoretical one although I am trying to potentially use it for design applications.
An example for a design application would be an unbraced beam in a chevron braced bay.
The beam would be braced along its strong axis at mid-point but not along...
Hello everyone,
I've been trying to solve this problem for a while but can't seem to find a solution.
I went through Galambos and Timoshenko but can't seem to find a case that would apply.
I'm trying to figure out which effective length to use for a column that is in tension for half the...
