267Comm. A-EAPPENDIX ECOLUMNS AND OTHER COMPRESSION MEMBERSE3. DESIGN COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH FORFLEXURAL-TORSIONAL BUCKLINGThe equations in Appendix E3 for determining the flexural-torsional elastic bucklingloads of columns are derived in texts on structural stability (Timoshenko andGere, 1961; Bleich, 1952; Galambos, 1968; and Chen and Atsuta, 1977, for example).Since these equations for flexural-torsional buckling apply only to elasticbuckling, they must be modified for inelastic buckling when F cr > 0.5F y . This isaccomplished through the use of the equivalent slenderness factor λ e = F y / F e .<strong>LRFD</strong> Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, December 27, 1999AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF STEEL CONSTRUCTION
