Equation F.1-1 – AISC 360-16

This equation calculates the lateral-torsional buckling modification factor for non-uniform moment diagrams.
Cb = 12.5Mmax2.5Mmax + 3MA + 4MB + 3MC
Cb Lateral-torsional buckling modification factor for non-uniform moment diagrams
Mmax Absolute value of the maximum moment in the unbraced segment
MA Absolute value of the moment at the quarter point of the unbraced segment
MB Absolute value of the moment at the centerline of the unbraced segment
MC Absolute value of the moment at the three-quarter point of the unbraced segment
