Lateral torsional buckling is checked as per the procedure of NS 12.3.4. The procedure for calculation of ideal buckling moment for sections with two axis of symmetry has been implemented. The coefficient can be provided by the user through the use of parameter CB. In the absence of CB, a value of 1.0 will be used. Torsional properties for cross sections (torsional constant and warping constant) are calculated using formulae from NS 3472. This results in slightly conservative estimates of torsional parameters. The program will automatically select the maximum moment in cases where Mvd is less than Mzd.
