STAAD PRO.
 Rafters:
• Buckling in Plan ( Lz - Kz ) :
• L = Total Span. - K = 1 (Nothing Braced the Rafter).

• Buckling ou t of Plan ( ( Ly&- Ky) :

• L = Total Span K = 1- Distance Between Struts/total Span.
2- Distance Between Flange Bracing /total Span.

• Un Supported length unt – unb:

• UNT = Distance Between Purlins.
• UNB = distance between flange bracing.
 columns:
• Buckling in Plan ( ( Lz&- Kz) :
• L = Total Length.
• K = fixation between Column and rafter is partially fixed so we will follow these steps :
• 1- Get GB from this fig according to your fixation type.
• 2- Get GA from this formula.

• 3- Get K from this Chart.

 Columns-2:
• Buckling ou t of Plan ( ( Ly&- Ky) :
• L = Total Span K = 1- Distance Between Struts/total length.

• Un Supported length unt – unb:

• UNT = Distance Between Purlins Or block Wall Height .
• UNB = Distance Between Flange Bracing.
 Purlins - bracing - struts - End gables:
• Buckling in Plan ( Lz - Kz ) :
• L = Total Length. -K=1

• Buckling ou t of Plan ( Ly&- Ky ) :

• L = Total Length. -K=1
