3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What are the two main types of lateral support for beams?
Think about how beams can be supported along their length.
Define lateral torsional buckling.
Consider the behavior of beams without lateral support.
What is the primary mode of failure for unbraced steel beams?
Think about the effects of lateral support.
True or False: Continuous lateral support can help prevent lateral torsional buckling.
Consider the behavior of supported versus unsupported beams.
Given a steel beam with known properties, calculate if lateral support is needed under a specific loading condition.
Use AISC guidelines for unbraced member capacity.
A beam experiences varying lateral loads. Describe the failure modes that could occur and how they relate to the discussed concepts.
Look into stability under dynamic loads.
