In most steel-framed structures, beams are subject only to bending and not to torsion but situations do arise where torsional effects are significant, typically where the demands of practical construction result in eccentrically applied loads.

The European operations of Tata Steel comprise Europe's second largest steel producer. With main steelmaking operations in
Plates subjected only to in-plane loading can be solved using two-dimensional plane stress theory1 (see Book I, §3.5). On the other hand, plate theory is concerned mainly with lateral loading.
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 .
Determine the internal torque at each section. A torsion diagram is a graphical representation of the internal resultant torque at any point along a shaft. Draw the torque diagram for each shaft. The solid shaft is fixed to the support at C and subjected to the torsional loadings shown.
like for the torsion problem: Concept Question 6.2.3. Specialize the general equations of stress equilibrium: ˙ ij;j = 0 (no body forces) to the torsion problem (no need to express them in terms of the strains or displacement assumptions as we will use a stress function) Solution: The only non-trivial equation is the third: ˙ 31;1 + ˙ 32;2 ...
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.
