8.1, DESIGN PROCESS 95
For class 3 and 4 sections the maximum longitudinal stress needs to satisfy the
criterion in Expression 6.42. For class 4 sections the o,ra is to be calculated using
the effective cross section,
8.1.2 Buckling resistance
Members which are subjected to combined bending and axial compression should sat-
isfy the buckling resistance check in Expressions 6.61 and 6.62.
‘The parameters for Expression 6.61 and 6.62 as relevant class of the section is
iven in Table 6.7 (reproduced here in Table 8.1). Note that AMy.ca, SMa are
‘only relevant to class 4 sections where the non-alignment of center of areas of effective
‘and gross section will give rise to an additional moment.
