R = concentrated load or reaction, in N unbraced in the plane of bending under
tw = thickness of web, in mm consideration. M1/M2 is positive when the member is
N = length of bearing bent in double curvature, negative when bent in
k = distance from outer face of flange to web toe single curvature.
3. For compression members in frames braced against
of fillet, in mm
joint tranlation in plane of loading and subject to
transverse loading between their supports.
For members whose ends are restrained… Cm = 0.85
For members whose ends are unrestrained… Cm = 1.0
