From the above two expressions for scr/sy and sb/sy, the product <strong>of</strong><br />

If 1% fall in the allowable bending stress sb is acceptable, then the stiffness<br />

When the torsional restraint at the support section <strong>of</strong> a simply supported<br />
I-beam consists only <strong>of</strong> a load-bearing stiffener anchored to the pier or the<br />
abutment, the actual stiffness <strong>of</strong> the restraint is equal to<br />

where Is is the second moment <strong>of</strong> area <strong>of</strong> the cross-section <strong>of</strong> the load-bearing<br />
stiffener about a horizontal axis along the web <strong>of</strong> the beam.<br />

Rolled Beam and Plate Girder <strong>Design</strong> 149<br />
In Section 5.4.4 it was stated that the behaviour and strength <strong>of</strong> an initially<br />
imperfect plate subject to in-plane loading depended upon the degree <strong>of</strong> inplane<br />
restraint on the edges. In British Standard BS 5400: Part 3[2] separate<br />
