Define Moment

The Moment of a force is a measure of its tendency to cause a body to rotate about a specific point or axis. A moment is due to a force not having an equal and opposite force directly along its line of action.

What does Unbraced length mean?

The distance between ends of a structural member (such as a column) which are prevented from moving normal to the axis of the member, by bracing, by floor slabs, etc.
