Slender bending beams that have a large height-to-width ratio and are loaded parallel to the minor axis tend to have stability issues. This is due to the deflection of the compression chord.

The first article of the series explains the theoretical background for the analytical determination of the critical bending moment Mcrit or the critical bending stress σcrit for the lateral buckling of a bending beam.
This article uses examples to verify the analytical solution with the result from the eigenvalue analysis.

The practical application for determining the critical bending moment or the critical bending stress is demonstrated in the second part of the series.
In this article, the critical bending moment is determined by considering an elastic foundation resulting from a stiffening bracing.
