7.3.3 Ultimate resistance
The ultimate resistances of real beam-columns which fail by flexural-torsional
buckling are reduced below their elastic and inelastic buckling loads by the pres-
enceofgeometricalimperfectionssuchasinitialcrookedness, justasarethoseof
columns (Section 3.4) and beams (Section 6.4).
