Abstract: | This paper investigates the elastic lateral–torsional buckling of I-beams under linear moment gradient that very precisely incorporates the effects of moment gradient and various end restraints. The elastic critical buckling moments are obtained independently by using: (1) the Bubnov–Galerkin method and (2) the finite element method. The present formula of the moment gradient correction factor cannot satisfactorily predict the buckling capacities of doubly symmetric and monosymmetric I-beams with various end restraints. We propose alternative equations for evaluating the moment gradient correction factor, considering end restraint conditions. |
