Flow chart: Design of a non-composite beam under uniform loading

- detailed procedure
These charts cover the verification of the design resistance of a non composite beam under
uniform loading, without axial force. The beam is a rolled I-section. The cases for unrestrained
and laterally restrained compression flange are covered. In addition to an overview, there are
charts for the detailed procedures for calculating shear resistance, bending resistance of the
cross section and buckling resistance moment.
