Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min
(Classical Mechanics Mechanics of Materials Structural Mechanics Theory of Elasticity)
Increasing of displacements makes increasing of internal energy Values of energy
depends on direction of load and direction of displacements

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

parallel to weak axis (deflection)

characteristics of beam length of beam and type of supports

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to
load than for perpendicular to load There is no displacement perpendicual to load

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to
load than for perpendicular to load There is no displacement perpendicual to load

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above

Deformation as the result of torsional moment
Deformation from initial imperfection
Various points of loadrsquos application makes various
effects of deformations These deformations from
torsional moment can intensify or weaken the
impact of initial imperfections As a result the
cross-section may lose stability more easily (smaller
Mcr) or more difficult (larger Mcr)
Initial imperfections make eccentricity e and
torsional moment MT as the secondary effect of
load

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min
(Classical Mechanics Mechanics of Materials Structural Mechanics Theory of Elasticity)
Increasing of displacements makes increasing of internal energy Values of energy
depends on direction of load and direction of displacements

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations
parallel to strong axis (lateral buckling)
parallel to weak axis (deflection)
have similar values of internal energy
Final mode of destruction - buckling or destruction of support - depends on geometrical
characteristics of beam length of beam and type of supports

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to
load than for perpendicular to load There is no displacement perpendicual to load

No buckling
Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

This question is not completely clear in Eurocode
According to EN 1993-1-1 6322 (2) critical
moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above
(recalculation for cLT no Mcr) Maybe this means
that we should use other formula for Mcr than

Various points of loadrsquos application makes various
effects of deformations These deformations from
torsional moment can intensify or weaken the
impact of initial imperfections As a result the
cross-section may lose stability more easily (smaller
Mcr) or more difficult (larger Mcr)
Initial imperfections make eccentricity e and
torsional moment MT as the secondary effect of
load

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min
(Classical Mechanics Mechanics of Materials Structural Mechanics Theory of Elasticity)
Increasing of displacements makes increasing of internal energy Values of energy
depends on direction of load and direction of displacements

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

This question is not completely clear in Eurocode
According to EN 1993-1-1 6322 (2) critical
moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above
(recalculation for cLT no Mcr) Maybe this means
that we should use other formula for Mcr than

Various points of loadrsquos application makes various
effects of deformations These deformations from

impact of initial imperfections As a result the
cross-section may lose stability more easily (smaller

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min
(Classical Mechanics Mechanics of Materials Structural Mechanics Theory of Elasticity)
Increasing of displacements makes increasing of internal energy Values of energy
depends on direction of load and direction of displacements

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to
load than for perpendicular to load There is no displacement perpendicual to load

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

This question is not completely clear in Eurocode
According to EN 1993-1-1 6322 (2) critical
moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above

that we should use other formula for Mcr than

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to
load than for perpendicular to load There is no displacement perpendicual to load

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to
load than for perpendicular to load There is no displacement perpendicual to load

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to
load than for perpendicular to load There is no displacement perpendicual to load

No buckling
Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

This question is not completely clear in Eurocode
According to EN 1993-1-1 6322 (2) critical
moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above
(recalculation for cLT no Mcr) Maybe this means
that we should use other formula for Mcr than
formula on t 69
1 M ne const (alternative way)

2 Not bi-symmetrical cross-section
or
5 Load applied out of shear center
Generally bi-symmetrical cross-section is the most often case for steel
structures
If not we use other formula for Mcr

Deformation as the result of torsional moment
Deformation from initial imperfection
Various points of loadrsquos application makes various
effects of deformations These deformations from
torsional moment can intensify or weaken the
impact of initial imperfections As a result the
cross-section may lose stability more easily (smaller
Mcr) or more difficult (larger Mcr)
Initial imperfections make eccentricity e and
torsional moment MT as the secondary effect of
load

EJ = const is the most often case Differences are negligible if a le 10o for calculations

But for this situation only one way of destruction
is possible ndash by destruction of support
Why there are one possibility for weak
axis and two for strong axis

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min
(Classical Mechanics Mechanics of Materials Structural Mechanics Theory of Elasticity)
Increasing of displacements makes increasing of internal energy Values of energy
depends on direction of load and direction of displacements

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations
parallel to strong axis (lateral buckling)
parallel to weak axis (deflection)
have similar values of internal energy
Final mode of destruction - buckling or destruction of support - depends on geometrical
characteristics of beam length of beam and type of supports

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to
load than for perpendicular to load There is no displacement perpendicual to load

No buckling
Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

This question is not completely clear in Eurocode
According to EN 1993-1-1 6322 (2) critical
moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above
(recalculation for cLT no Mcr) Maybe this means
that we should use other formula for Mcr than
formula on t 69

Generally bi-symmetrical cross-section is the most often case for steel
structures
If not we use other formula for Mcr

Deformation from initial imperfection
Various points of loadrsquos application makes various
effects of deformations These deformations from
torsional moment can intensify or weaken the
impact of initial imperfections As a result the
cross-section may lose stability more easily (smaller
Mcr) or more difficult (larger Mcr)
Initial imperfections make eccentricity e and
torsional moment MT as the secondary effect of
load

EJ = const is the most often case Differences are negligible if a le 10o for calculations

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min
(Classical Mechanics Mechanics of Materials Structural Mechanics Theory of Elasticity)
Increasing of displacements makes increasing of internal energy Values of energy
depends on direction of load and direction of displacements

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

This question is not completely clear in Eurocode
According to EN 1993-1-1 6322 (2) critical
moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min
(Classical Mechanics Mechanics of Materials Structural Mechanics Theory of Elasticity)
Increasing of displacements makes increasing of internal energy Values of energy
depends on direction of load and direction of displacements

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to
load than for perpendicular to load There is no displacement perpendicual to load

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

This question is not completely clear in Eurocode
According to EN 1993-1-1 6322 (2) critical
moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above
(recalculation for cLT no Mcr) Maybe this means
that we should use other formula for Mcr than

Various points of loadrsquos application makes various
effects of deformations These deformations from

impact of initial imperfections As a result the

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min
(Classical Mechanics Mechanics of Materials Structural Mechanics Theory of Elasticity)
Increasing of displacements makes increasing of internal energy Values of energy
depends on direction of load and direction of displacements

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to
load than for perpendicular to load There is no displacement perpendicual to load

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

This question is not completely clear in Eurocode
According to EN 1993-1-1 6322 (2) critical
moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above
(recalculation for cLT no Mcr) Maybe this means
that we should use other formula for Mcr than

Various points of loadrsquos application makes various
effects of deformations These deformations from

impact of initial imperfections As a result the

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min
(Classical Mechanics Mechanics of Materials Structural Mechanics Theory of Elasticity)
Increasing of displacements makes increasing of internal energy Values of energy
depends on direction of load and direction of displacements

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to
load than for perpendicular to load There is no displacement perpendicual to load

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min
(Classical Mechanics Mechanics of Materials Structural Mechanics Theory of Elasticity)
Increasing of displacements makes increasing of internal energy Values of energy
depends on direction of load and direction of displacements

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to
load than for perpendicular to load There is no displacement perpendicual to load

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min
(Classical Mechanics Mechanics of Materials Structural Mechanics Theory of Elasticity)
Increasing of displacements makes increasing of internal energy Values of energy
depends on direction of load and direction of displacements

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

This question is not completely clear in Eurocode
According to EN 1993-1-1 6322 (2) critical
moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above

that we should use other formula for Mcr than

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min
(Classical Mechanics Mechanics of Materials Structural Mechanics Theory of Elasticity)
Increasing of displacements makes increasing of internal energy Values of energy
depends on direction of load and direction of displacements

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

This question is not completely clear in Eurocode
According to EN 1993-1-1 6322 (2) critical
moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above
(recalculation for cLT no Mcr) Maybe this means
that we should use other formula for Mcr than

Generally bi-symmetrical cross-section is the most often case for steel

Various points of loadrsquos application makes various
effects of deformations These deformations from
torsional moment can intensify or weaken the
impact of initial imperfections As a result the
cross-section may lose stability more easily (smaller
Mcr) or more difficult (larger Mcr)
Initial imperfections make eccentricity e and

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min
(Classical Mechanics Mechanics of Materials Structural Mechanics Theory of Elasticity)
Increasing of displacements makes increasing of internal energy Values of energy
depends on direction of load and direction of displacements

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to
load than for perpendicular to load There is no displacement perpendicual to load

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

This question is not completely clear in Eurocode
According to EN 1993-1-1 6322 (2) critical
moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above
(recalculation for cLT no Mcr) Maybe this means
that we should use other formula for Mcr than

Various points of loadrsquos application makes various
effects of deformations These deformations from
torsional moment can intensify or weaken the
impact of initial imperfections As a result the
cross-section may lose stability more easily (smaller

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min
(Classical Mechanics Mechanics of Materials Structural Mechanics Theory of Elasticity)
Increasing of displacements makes increasing of internal energy Values of energy
depends on direction of load and direction of displacements

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

This question is not completely clear in Eurocode
According to EN 1993-1-1 6322 (2) critical
moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above
(recalculation for cLT no Mcr) Maybe this means
that we should use other formula for Mcr than

Various points of loadrsquos application makes various
effects of deformations These deformations from

impact of initial imperfections As a result the
cross-section may lose stability more easily (smaller

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min
(Classical Mechanics Mechanics of Materials Structural Mechanics Theory of Elasticity)
Increasing of displacements makes increasing of internal energy Values of energy
depends on direction of load and direction of displacements

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

This question is not completely clear in Eurocode
According to EN 1993-1-1 6322 (2) critical
moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above
(recalculation for cLT no Mcr) Maybe this means
that we should use other formula for Mcr than

Various points of loadrsquos application makes various
effects of deformations These deformations from

impact of initial imperfections As a result the

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min
(Classical Mechanics Mechanics of Materials Structural Mechanics Theory of Elasticity)
Increasing of displacements makes increasing of internal energy Values of energy
depends on direction of load and direction of displacements

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations
parallel to strong axis (lateral buckling)
parallel to weak axis (deflection)
have similar values of internal energy
Final mode of destruction - buckling or destruction of support - depends on geometrical
characteristics of beam length of beam and type of supports

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to

No buckling
Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

This question is not completely clear in Eurocode
According to EN 1993-1-1 6322 (2) critical
moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above
(recalculation for cLT no Mcr) Maybe this means
that we should use other formula for Mcr than
formula on t 69

Generally bi-symmetrical cross-section is the most often case for steel
structures

Various points of loadrsquos application makes various
effects of deformations These deformations from
torsional moment can intensify or weaken the
impact of initial imperfections As a result the
cross-section may lose stability more easily (smaller
Mcr) or more difficult (larger Mcr)
Initial imperfections make eccentricity e and
torsional moment MT as the secondary effect of
load

This question is not completely clear in Eurocode
According to EN 1993-1-1 6322 (2) critical
moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above
(recalculation for cLT no Mcr) Maybe this means
that we should use other formula for Mcr than
formula on t 69

Generally bi-symmetrical cross-section is the most often case for steel
structures

Various points of loadrsquos application makes various
effects of deformations These deformations from
torsional moment can intensify or weaken the
impact of initial imperfections As a result the
cross-section may lose stability more easily (smaller
Mcr) or more difficult (larger Mcr)
Initial imperfections make eccentricity e and
torsional moment MT as the secondary effect of

of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points

Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min
(Classical Mechanics Mechanics of Materials Structural Mechanics Theory of Elasticity)
Increasing of displacements makes increasing of internal energy Values of energy
depends on direction of load and direction of displacements

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to
load than for perpendicular to load There is no displacement perpendicual to load

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

This question is not completely clear in Eurocode

moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information

Various points of loadrsquos application makes various

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min
(Classical Mechanics Mechanics of Materials Structural Mechanics Theory of Elasticity)
Increasing of displacements makes increasing of internal energy Values of energy
depends on direction of load and direction of displacements

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

This question is not completely clear in Eurocode
According to EN 1993-1-1 6322 (2) critical
moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above

that we should use other formula for Mcr than

Various points of loadrsquos application makes various
effects of deformations These deformations from

impact of initial imperfections As a result the

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min
(Classical Mechanics Mechanics of Materials Structural Mechanics Theory of Elasticity)
Increasing of displacements makes increasing of internal energy Values of energy
depends on direction of load and direction of displacements

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

parallel to weak axis (deflection)

characteristics of beam length of beam and type of supports

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to
load than for perpendicular to load There is no displacement perpendicual to load

No buckling
Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

This question is not completely clear in Eurocode
According to EN 1993-1-1 6322 (2) critical
moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above
(recalculation for cLT no Mcr) Maybe this means
that we should use other formula for Mcr than
formula on t 69

2 Not bi-symmetrical cross-section
or

Generally bi-symmetrical cross-section is the most often case for steel
structures
If not we use other formula for Mcr

Deformation as the result of torsional moment
Deformation from initial imperfection
Various points of loadrsquos application makes various
effects of deformations These deformations from
torsional moment can intensify or weaken the
impact of initial imperfections As a result the
cross-section may lose stability more easily (smaller
Mcr) or more difficult (larger Mcr)
Initial imperfections make eccentricity e and
torsional moment MT as the secondary effect of
load

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points

Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

This question is not completely clear in Eurocode
According to EN 1993-1-1 6322 (2) critical
moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above
(recalculation for cLT no Mcr) Maybe this means
that we should use other formula for Mcr than

Various points of loadrsquos application makes various

impact of initial imperfections As a result the

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min
(Classical Mechanics Mechanics of Materials Structural Mechanics Theory of Elasticity)
Increasing of displacements makes increasing of internal energy Values of energy
depends on direction of load and direction of displacements

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

parallel to weak axis (deflection)

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to
load than for perpendicular to load There is no displacement perpendicual to load

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

This question is not completely clear in Eurocode
According to EN 1993-1-1 6322 (2) critical
moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above
(recalculation for cLT no Mcr) Maybe this means
that we should use other formula for Mcr than

Various points of loadrsquos application makes various
effects of deformations These deformations from

impact of initial imperfections As a result the

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min
(Classical Mechanics Mechanics of Materials Structural Mechanics Theory of Elasticity)
Increasing of displacements makes increasing of internal energy Values of energy
depends on direction of load and direction of displacements

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

This question is not completely clear in Eurocode
According to EN 1993-1-1 6322 (2) critical
moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above
(recalculation for cLT no Mcr) Maybe this means
that we should use other formula for Mcr than
formula on t 69

Generally bi-symmetrical cross-section is the most often case for steel
structures

Various points of loadrsquos application makes various
effects of deformations These deformations from
torsional moment can intensify or weaken the
impact of initial imperfections As a result the
cross-section may lose stability more easily (smaller
Mcr) or more difficult (larger Mcr)
Initial imperfections make eccentricity e and

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which

bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min
(Classical Mechanics Mechanics of Materials Structural Mechanics Theory of Elasticity)
Increasing of displacements makes increasing of internal energy Values of energy
depends on direction of load and direction of displacements

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

This question is not completely clear in Eurocode
According to EN 1993-1-1 6322 (2) critical
moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above
(recalculation for cLT no Mcr) Maybe this means
that we should use other formula for Mcr than

Various points of loadrsquos application makes various

impact of initial imperfections As a result the

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min
(Classical Mechanics Mechanics of Materials Structural Mechanics Theory of Elasticity)
Increasing of displacements makes increasing of internal energy Values of energy
depends on direction of load and direction of displacements

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

Why there are one possibility for weak

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min
(Classical Mechanics Mechanics of Materials Structural Mechanics Theory of Elasticity)
Increasing of displacements makes increasing of internal energy Values of energy
depends on direction of load and direction of displacements
Increasing of inner energy

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

parallel to weak axis (deflection)

characteristics of beam length of beam and type of supports

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to
load than for perpendicular to load There is no displacement perpendicual to load

No buckling
Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

This question is not completely clear in Eurocode
According to EN 1993-1-1 6322 (2) critical
moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above
(recalculation for cLT no Mcr) Maybe this means
that we should use other formula for Mcr than

Various points of loadrsquos application makes various
effects of deformations These deformations from

impact of initial imperfections As a result the
cross-section may lose stability more easily (smaller

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min
(Classical Mechanics Mechanics of Materials Structural Mechanics Theory of Elasticity)
Increasing of displacements makes increasing of internal energy Values of energy
depends on direction of load and direction of displacements

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations
parallel to strong axis (lateral buckling)
parallel to weak axis (deflection)
have similar values of internal energy

characteristics of beam length of beam and type of supports

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to
load than for perpendicular to load There is no displacement perpendicual to load

No buckling
Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points

Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in

This question is not completely clear in Eurocode
According to EN 1993-1-1 6322 (2) critical
moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above
(recalculation for cLT no Mcr) Maybe this means
that we should use other formula for Mcr than

Various points of loadrsquos application makes various
effects of deformations These deformations from

impact of initial imperfections As a result the

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min
(Classical Mechanics Mechanics of Materials Structural Mechanics Theory of Elasticity)
Increasing of displacements makes increasing of internal energy Values of energy
depends on direction of load and direction of displacements

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min
(Classical Mechanics Mechanics of Materials Structural Mechanics Theory of Elasticity)
Increasing of displacements makes increasing of internal energy Values of energy
depends on direction of load and direction of displacements

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

This question is not completely clear in Eurocode
According to EN 1993-1-1 6322 (2) critical
moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above
(recalculation for cLT no Mcr) Maybe this means
that we should use other formula for Mcr than

Various points of loadrsquos application makes various

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points

Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to

Various points of loadrsquos application makes various
effects of deformations These deformations from
torsional moment can intensify or weaken the
impact of initial imperfections As a result the
cross-section may lose stability more easily (smaller

Effect of load depends on amount of internal energy
For each point inside bar we can calculate matrix of stresses and matrix of strains Product
of these two tensors is value of internal energy in any point Total internal energy for every
points in bar is equal sum after every points
Ei = int int int [s] [e] dx dy dz
Theoretically there are infinitive number of deformations for each type of loads But in
real structures for one type of load is only one type of deformation this type for which
Ei = min
(Classical Mechanics Mechanics of Materials Structural Mechanics Theory of Elasticity)
Increasing of displacements makes increasing of internal energy Values of energy
depends on direction of load and direction of displacements

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations

parallel to weak axis (deflection)
have similar values of internal energy
Final mode of destruction - buckling or destruction of support - depends on geometrical
characteristics of beam length of beam and type of supports

Deflection
Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to
load than for perpendicular to load There is no displacement perpendicual to load
Photo Author
Deflection
No buckling
Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of

During analysis of load parallel to weak axis for big value of loads both deformations
parallel to strong axis (lateral buckling)
parallel to weak axis (deflection)
have similar values of internal energy
Final mode of destruction - buckling or destruction of support - depends on geometrical

Internal energy for load parallel to strong axis is always smaller for displacement paralel to
load than for perpendicular to load There is no displacement perpendicual to load

No buckling
Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

This question is not completely clear in Eurocode
According to EN 1993-1-1 6322 (2) critical
moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above

that we should use other formula for Mcr than

Conclusions
bull lateral buckling must be analysed only for bending about strong axis (rarr potential instability about weak axis)
bull there is no need to analysis lateral buckling for bending about weak axis
bull for the same reason flexural-torsional buckling is always interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about weak axis
bull flexural-torsional buckling as interaction between torsional buckling and flexural buckling about strong axis is impossible
bull there is no lateral buckling and no torsional-flexural buckling for cross-section with Jy = Jz rarr no lateral buckling for square and round pipes

This question is not completely clear in Eurocode
According to EN 1993-1-1 6322 (2) critical
moment Mcr depends on amount others shape of
bending moment But there is no other information
about this influence except recalculation as above
(recalculation for cLT no Mcr) Maybe this means
that we should use other formula for Mcr than
formula on t 69
1 M ne const (alternative way)

2 Not bi-symmetrical cross-section
or
5 Load applied out of shear center
Generally bi-symmetrical cross-section is the most often case for steel
structures
If not we use other formula for Mcr

Various points of loadrsquos application makes various
effects of deformations These deformations from
torsional moment can intensify or weaken the
impact of initial imperfections As a result the
cross-section may lose stability more easily (smaller

Initial imperfections make eccentricity e and

Deformation from initial imperfection
Various points of loadrsquos application makes various
effects of deformations These deformations from
torsional moment can intensify or weaken the
impact of initial imperfections As a result the
cross-section may lose stability more easily (smaller
Mcr) or more difficult (larger Mcr)
Initial imperfections make eccentricity e and
torsional moment MT as the secondary effect of
