In most steel-framed structures, beams are subject only to bending and not to torsion. In buildings, beams are usually hot rolled I or H sections, proportioned for optimum bending performance about their major axis.
The thin plate expression will be approximately equal to the thick plate expression when the thickness h is very small, since in that case h 2 0 , or when the ratio of load to stiffness, q / D , is small.
geometrical figures are also given, together with useful mathematical solutions. The design tables also include section property, member resistance and ultimate load tables calculated according to BS EN 1993-1-1: 2005 and its associated National Annex.

The slenderness limits λp and λr for various plate elements with different boundary conditions are given in Table B5.1 on pages 16.1-14 and 16.1-15 of the AISC Spec. Note that the slenderness limits (λp and λr) and the definition of plate slenderness (b/t) ratio depend upon the boundary conditions for the plate.
Chapters 2 and 3 provide an overview of the fundamentals and basic theory of torsional loading for structural steel members. Chapter 4 covers the determination of torsional stresses, their combination with other stresses, Specification provisions relating to torsion, and serviceability issues.
The following pages provide the formulas for calculating the torsional section properties of structural steel shapes. The section properties considered are the St. Venant torsional constant, J, the warping torsional constant, Cw, the shear centre location, yO , and the monosymmetry constant, βx .
