How to Calculate Limiting Laterally Unbraced Length for Inelastic Lateral Buckling?
Limiting Laterally Unbraced Length for Inelastic Lateral Buckling calculator uses Limiting Length = ((Radius of Gyration about Minor Axis*Beam Buckling Factor 1)/(Specified Minimum Yield Stress-Compressive Residual Stress in Flange))*sqrt(1+sqrt(1+(Beam Buckling Factor 2*Smaller Yield Stress^2))) to calculate the Limiting Length, The Limiting Laterally Unbraced Length for Inelastic Lateral Buckling formula is defined as the unbraced maximum length of an inelastic buckling member involving a relation between various parameters like buckling factors, yield stress of web and flange, residual compressive stress and radius of gyration. Limiting Length is denoted by Llim symbol.
How to calculate Limiting Laterally Unbraced Length for Inelastic Lateral Buckling using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Limiting Laterally Unbraced Length for Inelastic Lateral Buckling, enter Radius of Gyration about Minor Axis (ry), Beam Buckling Factor 1 (X1), Specified Minimum Yield Stress (Fyw), Compressive Residual Stress in Flange (Fr), Beam Buckling Factor 2 (X2) & Smaller Yield Stress (Fl) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Limiting Laterally Unbraced Length for Inelastic Lateral Buckling calculation can be explained with given input values -> 3E+7 = ((0.02*3005)/(139000000-80000000))*sqrt(1+sqrt(1+(64*110000000^2))).
