How to Evaluate Limiting Buckling Moment?

Limiting Buckling Moment evaluator uses Limiting Buckling Moment = Smaller Yield Stress*Section Modulus about Major Axis to evaluate the Limiting Buckling Moment, The Limiting Buckling Moment formula is defined as the maximum moment that a steel member (typically a beam or a column) can resist before it undergoes lateral-torsional buckling (LTB). Lateral-torsional buckling is a failure mode where a steel member, under bending, deforms laterally and twists simultaneously, leading to loss of load-carrying capacity. Limiting Buckling Moment is denoted by Mr symbol.
