Table 9.1 Torsional buckling of certain type-R sections—empirical formulae for � t <strong>and</strong> X<br />

Notes. 1. Refer to Figure 9.11 for section details.<br />

2. Despite the asymmetry of sections SA3 <strong>and</strong> SA4 the interaction factor k is still found accurately<br />

enough using Figure 9.10. In entering this we take s=(� u /� t ) {1+6(1-B/D) 2 }, where � u is the<br />

slenderness for column buckling about the major principal axis.<br />

Table 9.2 Torsional of certain channel-type sections—empirical formulae for<br />

�, �, X<br />

Note. Refer to Figure 9.13 for section details.<br />
