Use this dialog to define the lateral-buckling effective length of members.
Access
- Click Effective length let or Effective length leb in the Member Definitions - Parameters dialog.
Dialog elements
Define your own buckling length coefficient by selecting the appropriate value for one of the available buckling modes.
Note: The elements available in this dialog are different depending if the member is a cantilever or not.

Concentrated load at center with no intermediate lateral support. |
|
x equal concentrated load at 1/x points with lateral support at 1/x points. |
|
Equal end moments. |
