In the calculation of the lateral torsional buckling capacity for a section of beam with an unbraced compression flange the location of load application on the beam can have an impact on the beam’s capacity. For the Eurocode the engineer can specify whether the load is applied at the top flange or at the shear center by choosing the appropriate option in the Criteria-Eurocode Factors command in the RAM Manager. The elastic critical moment is as calculated in Elastic Critical Moment.
