Question 1
A beam is subjected to varying end moments of -15 kNm and +30 kNm. Calculate the coefficient C and determine if this beam is safe under lateral torsional buckling.
💡 Hint: Use the coefficient C formula and assess the moment safety against buckling.
Question 2
A steel beam of length 12m must support a load leading to a moment of 20 kNm at one end. Discuss the applicability and adjustments needed to prevent buckling using AISC equations.
💡 Hint: Engage with buckling equations and solutions for stability.
