The Design Flexural Strength (LRFD), ϕ_b·M_n , and the Allowable Flexural Strength (ASD), M_n/Ω_b , are being calculated by the program.

The Nominal Flexural Strength, M_n, is determined according to Sections F2 through F12 of unified code specifications, for different types of rolled sections.

Doubly symmetric, I-shaped sections with slender flanges are also checked, as per Section F3 of AISC 360-10.

The Nominal Flexural Strength of a member is determined by the limit states of Yielding (Y), Lateral-Torsional Buckling (LTB), Flange Local Buckling (FLB), Web Local Buckling (WLB), Tension Flange Yielding (TFY), Leg Local Buckling (LLB), and Local Buckling (LB).

The program internally calculates the Lateral-Torsional Buckling Modification Factor (C_b) for non-uniform moment diagrams when both ends of the unsupported segment are braced. The purpose of this factor is to account for the influence of the moment gradient on lateral-torsional buckling. Alternatively, this can be directly specified using the CB parameter.

To specify laterally unsupported length of member flanges, the parameters UNB, UNL, UNR, and UNT can be used. By default, these take the value of the member length.
