Omission of lateral buckling reinforcement in beam member

Nippon Steel – Japan

The lateral stiffener omission construction method is an application technology to narrow width cross sections, and a construction method allowing lateral stiffeners to be omitted provided that certain conditions are met in accordance with a newly created proof stress formula with high precision, which takes into consideration the constraining effect from horizontal displacement of the upper flange of the beam given by the constraining effect of the floor slab.
