Local buckling ratios: Vol 1
Flange b/t = 15.8 Page B-24
Web d/t = 28.3
Since the section is symmetrical and subject to bending (i.e. no axial load), the neutral 3.5.2
axis is at mid depth. For this case, the limiting d/t for a class 1 plastic web is 64. Table 12
Limiting d/t = 64 = 64 1.0 = 64
The flange and the web are both class 1, therefore, the cross section is class 1.

Example 7 RHS beam under combined bending and torsion Sheet 3 of 5 Rev

Therefore Mcx = 135 kNm
From above, Mx = 102 kNm
102 kNm < 135 kNm
Therefore, the moment capacity is adequate.
For an RHS, there is no need to consider lateral-torsional buckling, unless the 4.3.6.1
slenderness LE/ry exceeds the value given in Table 15 (dependent on D/B). Table 15
D/B = 250/150 = 1.67
For D/B = 1.67, the limiting LE/ry from Table 15 is 435.
The actual LE/ry = 4000/61.5 = 65
Therefore, there is no need to consider lateral-torsional buckling in this example.

Note that this is very slightly conservative because it uses the maximum shear stress
due to the shear force, which is not coexistent with the maximum bending stresses.
The shear stresses from the shear force could be calculated with sufficient accuracy by
using:

7.4 Deflections

It is common for deflection to govern the design of beams subject to torsion.

The large torsional stiffness of hollow sections results in small twists along the
member. However there may be additional twist from the connections and the
supporting structure.
