φMbx: AS 4100 Cl. 5.6.1.1 with αm = 1.0; Le = ktklkrL. φNc: Cl. 6.3.3, pin-ended effective length Le = keL, concentric load.
Check it for a span and loads with the beam calculator.
For restraint types, ktklkr and αm, use the lateral restraint calculator.
Instant check only. Effective lengths and moment modification factors must be determined by the designer in accordance with AS 4100 Cl. 4.6, 5.6.3 and 6.3.2. Not a substitute for a qualified engineer: see the disclaimer.
