Abstract
This paper deals with distortional buckling in monosymmetric propped cantilever I-beams under two types of load: a central point load and a uniformly distributed load. Top-flange and bottom-flange load positions are considered. ABAQUS is used for the investigation. Moment modification factors are obtained and are compared with those based on Structural Stability Research Council Guidelines, which take into account lateral–torsion buckling only. It is seen that provisions in SSRC Guidelines seriously overestimate the critical load, especially for short beams.
