Local Buckling Criteria
Slenderness of the flange and web, , are used as criteria to
determine whether buckling would control in the elastic or
inelastic range, otherwise the plastic moment can be obtained
before local buckling occurs.
Criteria
p

r
are based on plate buckling theory.

Rolled W-shape sections are
dimensioned such that the webs are
compact and flanges are compact in most
cases. Therefore, the full plastic moment
usually can be obtained prior to local
buckling occurring.

Only consider LTB as a potential failure mode prior to reaching
the plastic moment.
LTB depends on unbraced length, L
