Calculation of Elastic Torsional Buckling Force for Torsional Buckling in RF-/STEEL EC3

Which formula is used for the calculation of the elastic torsional buckling force for torsional buckling N_cr,T in RF‑/STEEL EC3?

Answer:

The elastic torsional buckling force for torsional buckling N_cr,T is calculated as follows:

N_{cr, T} = \frac{1}{i_{M}^{2}} \cdot (\frac{π^{2} \cdot E \cdot I_{w}}{L_{T}^{2}} + G \cdot I_{t})

i_{M} = \sqrt{i_{u}^{2} + i_{v}^{2} + u_{M}^{2} + v_{M}^{2}}

E	Modulus of elasticity
G	Shear modulus
I_w	Warping resistance
I_t	Torsion moment of inertia
i_u, i_v	Principal radii of gyration
u_M, v_M	Coordinates of the shear center in the principal axis system
L_T	Torsional buckling length
