D5.D.8.4 Clause 6.3.2.3(1) – LTB for rolled sections or equivalent welded section
The Polish-NA provides the values for the terms λLT,0 and β factors given in clause 6.3.2.3(1) as follows:
For all sections, use:
- λLT,0 =0.4 and β = 0.75
The Polish NA specifies the use of uses table 6.5 to work out the buckling curves for use in Cl. 6.3.2.3. Hence table 6.5 in PN-EN 1993-1-1 will be used for this.
These equations and factors are then applied to equation 6.57 of PN-EN 1993-1-1 to evaluate the Lateral Torsional Buckling reduction factor χLT.
