In the model of a building that am designing, the composite beams, which are lateral, are being checked in RAM steel post processor. I have not assigned an unbraced length, yet the composite beams are indicating an unbraced length of 7.86 for lateral torsional restraint. Could anyone please explain how the beam is picking this up? Thanks in advance.
