I am performing a stability analysis of a beam for lateral-torsional buckling. Why is the modified reduction factor χ LT,mod used in the design according to DIN EN 1993‑1‑1, 6.3.3 Method 2? Is it possible to deactivate this?

Question

Accepted Answer

According to DIN EN 1993-1-1, 6.3.2.3 (2) the reduction factor χ LT can be modified to χ LT,mod using the f factor. You can activate or deactivate this option under National Annex Settings.
