Cb = 1.75 + 1.05 (M1/M2) + 0.3 (M1/M2)2
but not more than 2.3
M1 – smaller end moment
M2 – bigger end moment
M1/M2 is positive when moments are of the same sign or
bending in double curvature.
M1/M2 is negative when moments are of the opposite sign or
bending in single curvature.
L - unsupported or unbraced length
rt – radius of gyration of compression flange plus 1/3 of the
compression web area about y-axis.
