16.2 Cross-section classification and moment capacity, Mc<br />

The possible influences of local buckling on the ability of a particular cross-section<br />

to attain, and where appropriate also to maintain, a certain level of moment are discussed<br />

in general terms in Chapter 13. In particular, section 13.2 covers the influence<br />

of flange (b/T) and web (d/t) slenderness on moment – rotation behaviour (Fig.<br />

13.4) and moment capacity (Fig. 13.5). When designing beams it is usually sufficient<br />

to consider the web and the compression flange separately using the appropriate<br />

sets of limits. 1<br />
