3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is an unbraced beam?
Consider how beams are typically supported.
Name a type of torsion that affects beams.
Think about pure twisting mechanisms.
What is lateral torsional buckling?
Think about how a beam reacts under unsupported conditions.
True or False: Saint-Venant's torsion only occurs with out-of-plane bending.
Recall the definition and effects of each type of torsion.
Design a beam to support a load of 5000 N applying proper AISC equations. Determine the necessary dimensions to prevent lateral torsional buckling.
Consider moment calculations and compare them to the load.
You have a beam with known lengths and moment values. Calculate the C factor for varying load scenarios and determine which loading condition poses the greatest risk of lateral torsional buckling.
Focus on understanding how varying moments affect the C factor.
