Critical Elastic Moment in Load and Resistance Factor Design for Buildings Formulas

Critical Elastic Moment represents the maximum moment a beam can carry in its elastic range before it becomes unstable due to lateral-torsional buckling. And is denoted by M_cr. Critical Elastic Moment is usually measured using the Newton Meter for Moment of Force. Note that the value of Critical Elastic Moment is always positive.
