assuming G = E/16 If flexural members are not effectively laterally
restrained, it is possible for the member to twist
Load distribution Deflection at sideways before developing its full flexural strength
and supports Centre C or end E (Fig. 6.5 ), thereby causing it to fail in bending,
shear or deflection. This phenomenon is called
Bending Shear lateral buckling and can be avoided by ensuring
that the depth to breadth ratios given in Table 6.10
