Problem

Unbraced Length Definition. 

Solution

Major unbraced length means “maximum” bending unbraced length about major axis, and Minor unbraced length means “maximum” bending unbraced length about minor axis.

Please refer to Steel Codes Manual found here:

This does vary a bit depending on the design code used, the Steel Designer Manual explains more, so you may open the Steel Designer manual and then just search for "unbraced" in that document.
