Numerical Study of the Effect of Out-of-Plane Distance in the Lateral Direction at the Mid-Span of a Steel Beam on the Sectional Moment Capacity by Ahmed Mohamed Sayed, Nageh M. Ali, Mishal H. Aljarbou, Abdullah Alzlfawi, Salman Aldhobaib, Hani Alanazi, Abdulmalik H. Altuwayjiri

“…The reduction ratios in the ultimate moment capacity in out-of-plane steel beams were directly proportional to the out-of-plane distance, cross-sectional dimensions, and steel yield stress, while the beam length had no effect. Failure in beams containing an out-of-plane distance occurs as a result of a global buckling in the upper flange, which contains tensile stresses at the outer edge and compressive stresses at the inner edge, with stress concentration occurring at the point of contact of the out-of-plane part with the main beam. …”
