Steel design for flexure for doubly symmetric I-shaped members bent around major axis [xls] [Excel sheet ]

Steel design for flexure for doubly symmetric I-shaped members bent around major axis [xls] [Excel sheet ]

• This spreadsheet uses ASD loads.
• There is a chart that shows Moment capacity vs Unbraced length, which indicates that as unbraced length increases, the flexural capacity decreases. The chart also shows inelastic lateral torsional buckling region and elastic lateral torsional buckling region. 
• There is also a section where it calculates whether your member has a compact flange and/or web. It then indicates the most critical steel check.
• The spreadsheet checks yielding, lateral torsional buckling, and flange local buckling.
