Stiffenes of lateral restraints

[FEA-MAN-2000]

Hi all.

Stiffness of lateral restraints (to prevent buckling) has always be a topic of discussion...can anyone recommend up to date guides/research (say from 2010 onwards). I have Trahairs book and method contained within, but Im sure it is outdated. (BTW Trahairs book is excellent for reference for upcoming engineers. P.S. I met him a few times in Sydney...such an intelligent and humble person).

The fly brace thread in on this forums has some excellent discussion if you can wade through it.
