Comm. F1.] DESIGN FOR FLEXURE 207has been used since 1961 to adjust the flexural-torsional buckling equation for variationsin the moment diagram within the unbraced length. This equation is applicableonly to moment diagrams that are straight lines between braced points. Theequation provides a lower bound fit to the solutions developed by Salvadori (1956)which are shown in Figure C-F1.2. Another equationCb =1M06 . − 04 .M12≤ 25 . (C-F1-2)fits the average value theoretical solutions when the beams are bent in reverse curvatureand also provides a reasonable fit to the theory. If the maximum momentFig. C-F1.1.
