WT in compression and bending

Verified against CSA S16-19, AISC 360-22 and CISC SST 12.1, 2026-10-01

A WT brace with its stem in tension: compressive and flexural resistance and S16's interaction. Check a WT brace carrying axial compression and a moment that puts its stem in tension. The compressive resistance takes class 4 effective area and flexural-torsional buckling; the flexural resistance takes AISC 360-22 F9's yielding, lateral-torsional buckling and flange local buckling; and S16's interaction is checked for overall member strength and lateral-torsional buckling strength.

Questions

What should omega_1 be?

S16's equivalent uniform moment factor, 0.6 - 0.4 kappa and not below 0.4, kappa the ratio of the smaller end moment to the larger, positive in double curvature. 1.0, the default, is equal end moments in single curvature, the most severe.

Can M_fx put the stem in compression?

Not here: the moment is taken with the stem in tension.
