I recently had a discussion with an engineer in our office who attended a Joe Yura stability seminar some time ago. The idea of column bracing came up and it was stated that if you brace only one flange of a column (for weak axis buckling) and not the web or the other flange, that it can buckle in a lateral-torsional buckling mode. This makes sense to me because the whole section wants to buckle, but part of it is restrained so it has this torsional component to it. That being said, I've never seen anything in AISC regarding this - or in any textbook (including S&J) for that matter.
Does anyone have any literature on this?
Would this same kind of phenomenom happen to wood studs braced on one side by sheathing and not on the other side?
