Calculate Lateral-Torsional Buckling Modification Factor Cb:
 
Calculation:
Designer/Checker:
   
Input:
 
 
AISC F1(3)
For singly symmetric members in single curvature and all doubly symmetric members, calculate Cb, the lateral-torsional buckling modification factor for nonuniform moment diagrams when both ends of the segment are braced.
     
Absolute value of maximum moment in the unbraced segment (Mmax - kip-ft or kN-m)
Absolute value of moment at quarter point of the unbraced segment (MA - k-ft or kN-m)
Absolute value of moment at centerline of the unbraced segment (MB - k-ft or kN-m)
Absolute value of moment at three-quarter point of the unbraced segment (MC - k-ft or kN-m)
