Design of Cantilevers with LTB

Is it possible to analyze cantilevers in LTB? If yes, which method is the calculation based on?

Answer:

For the calculation of cantilevers, the determination of the ideal elastic critical moment Mcr is crucial. This can be determined for singly symmetric I-sections applying "Lohse" (see LTB manual, Chapter 3.4.4). However, rotational and lateral restraints are not taken into account.
