Beam Design-Lrfd: Mu From Staad

The document provides steps for designing a beam using Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD). It first checks if a W-shaped section meets criteria to be considered compact or non-compact. It then determines the lateral-torsional buckling strength (Mn) using either the lateral-torsional buckling equation or the local buckling equation, whichever provides the least value. It next checks if the nominal flexural strength (Mn) multiplied by the resistance factor (φ) is greater than or equal to the factored moment (Mu). If not, the design is revised. Otherwise, it continues checking for shear strength, deflection, and determines if the section is safe.
