G-2.1
For x u < D r x_{u}<D_{r} x u < D r , the moment of resistance may be calculated from the equation given in G-1.1.
G-2.2
The limiting value of the moment of resistance of the section may be obtained by the following equation when the ratio D 1 / d D_{1} / d D 1 / d does not exceed 0.2 :
M u = 0.36 x u , max d ( 1 − 0.42 x u , max d ) f c k b w d 2 M_{\mathrm{u}}=0.36 \frac{x_{\mathrm{u}, \max }}{d}\left(1-0.42 \frac{x_{\mathrm{u}, \max }}{d}\right) f_{\mathrm{ck}} b_{\mathrm{w}} d^{2} M u = 0.36 d x u , m a x ( 1 − 0.42 d x u , m a x ) f ck b w d 2
+ 0.45 f c k ( b f − b w ) D f ( d − D f 2 ) +0.45 f_{\mathrm{ck}}\left(b_{\mathrm{f}}-b_{\mathrm{w}}\right) D_{\mathrm{f}}\left(d-\frac{D_{\mathrm{f}}}{2}\right) + 0.45 f ck ( b f − b w ) D f ( d − 2 D f )
where
M u , x u , max , d M_{u}, x_{u, \max }, d M u , x u , m a x , d and f c f_{c} f c are same as in G-1.1,
b f = b_{f}= b f = breadth of the compression face/flange.
b w = b_{w}= b w = breadth of the web, and
D 1 = D_{1}= D 1 = thickness of the flange.
G-2.2.1
When the ratio D y / d D_{y} / d D y / d exceeds 0.2 , the moment
When the ratio D f / D D_{\mathrm{f}} / D D f / D exceeds 0.2 , the moment of resistance of the section may be calculated by the following equation :
M u = 0.36 x u , max d ( 1 − 0.42 x u , max d ) f c k b w d 2 + 0.45 f c k ( b r − b w ) y r ( d − y r 2 ) \begin{aligned} M_{u} & =0.36 \frac{x_{u, \max }}{d}\left(1-0.42 \frac{x_{u, \max }}{d}\right) f_{c k} b_{w} d^{2} \\ & +0.45 f_{c k}\left(b_{r}-b_{w}\right) y_{r}\left(d-\frac{y_{r}}{2}\right)\end{aligned} M u = 0.36 d x u , m a x ( 1 − 0.42 d x u , m a x ) f c k b w d 2 + 0.45 f c k ( b r − b w ) y r ( d − 2 y r )
where y i = ( 0.15 x u + 0.65 D i ) y_{i}=\left(0.15 x_{u}+0.65 D_{i}\right) y i = ( 0.15 x u + 0.65 D i ) , but not greater than D i D_{i} D i , and the other symbols are same as in G-1.1 and G-2.2.
G-2.3
For x u , max > x u > D l x_{u, \max }>x_{u}>D_{l} x u , m a x > x u > D l , the moment of resistance may be calculated by the equations given in G-2.2 when D l / x u D_{l} / x_{u} D l / x u does not exceed 0.43 and G-2.2.1 when D l / x u D_{l} / x_{u} D l / x u exceeds 0.43; in both cases substituting x u , max x_{u, \max } x u , m a x by x u x_{u} x u .
