The following editorial corrections have been made in the
First Printing, 1997. To facilitate the incorporation of these
corrections, this booklet has been constructed using copies
of the revised pages, with corrections noted. The user may
find it convenient in some cases to hand-write a correction:
in others, a cut-and-paste approach may be more efficient.

Torsional Analysis of
Structural Steel Members23° Avoiding and Mi
The commonly used structural shapes offer relatively poor
resistance to torsion. Hence, it is best to avoid torsion by
detailing the loads and reactions to act though the shear
center ofthe member. However, in some instances, this may
not always be possible. AISC (1994) offors several sugges:
tions for eliminating torsion; see pages 2-40 through 2-42, For
example, rigid facade elements spancing between floors (the
‘weight of which would otherwise induce torsional loading of
the spandre! girder) may be designed .o transfer lateral forces
into the floor diaphragms and resist the eccentric effect as
illustrated in Figure 2.3. Note that many systems may be too
exible for this assumption, Partial facade panels that do not
‘extend from floor diaphragm to Mor diaphragm may be
designed with diagonal steel "kicker," as shown in Figore
2.4, to provide the lateral forees. In either case, this eliminates
torsional loading of the spandtel beam or gitdes, Also, tor:
sional bracing may be provided at eccentric load points 10
reduce or eliminate the fersianal effet; refer to Salnion and
Johnson (1990),
‘When torsion must be resisted by the member directly, its
effect may be reduced through consideration of intermesiate
torsional support provided by secondity framing, For exam-
ple, the rotation of the spandtel ginder cannot exceed the total
end rotation of the beam and connection being supported.
Therefore, a reduced torque may be calculated by evaluating,
the torsional stiffness of the member subjected to torsion
relative (othe rotational stiffness ofthe loading system. The
bending stiffness of the restraining member depends upon its
‘end conditions; the torsional stiffness kof the member under
consideration (illustrated in Figure 25) i

INTRODUCTION
‘This design guide is an update to the AISC publication Tor-
sional Analysis of Steel Members ani advances further the
work upon which that publication was based: Bethlehem
Steel Company's Torsion Analysis of Rolled Steel Sections
(Heins and Scaburg. 1963). Coverage of shapes has been
‘expanded and includes W-, M-, S-, and HP-Shapes, channels
(Cand MC), structural wes (WT, MT, and ST), angles (L),
Z-shapes, square, rectangular and round hollow structural
sections (HSS), and steel pipe (P), Torsional formulas for
these and other non-standard cross sections can also be found
in Chapter 9 of Young (1989),
Chapters 2 and 3 provide an overview of the fundamentals
and basic theory of torsional loading for structural steel
members. Chapter 4 covers the determination of torsional
stresses, theie combination with other stresses, Specification
provisions celating to torsion, and serviceability issues. The
design examples in Chapter 5 illustrat the design process as
well asthe use ofthe design aids for corsional properties and
functions found in Appendices A andB, respectively. Finally,
Appendix C provides supporting information that ustrates
the background of much of the information in this design
suid.
‘The design examples are generally based upon the provi-
sions af the 1993 AISC LRED Specification for Structural
‘Stee! Buildings (refered to herein as the LRFD Specitiea-
tion). Accordingly, forees and moments are indicated with the
subscript u to denote factored loads. Nonetheless, the infor-
ration contained in this guide can be used for design accord-
ing tothe 1989 AISC ASD Specification for Structural Steel
Buildings (refered to herein as the ASD Specification) if
service Toads are used in place of factored loads. Where this
isnot the case, thas been sonoted in the text For single-angle
members, the provisions ofthe AISC Specification jor LRFD
‘of Single-Angle Members and Specification for ASD of Si
sgle-Angle Members are appropriate. The design of curved
members is beyond the scope of this publication; refer to

TORSION FUNDAMENTALS
24 Shear Center
‘The shear center is the point through which the applied loads
‘must pass to produce bending without twisting. Ifa shape has
2 line of symmetry, the shear center will always lie on that
line; for cross-sections with two lines of symmetry, the shear
center is at the intersection of those lines (as is the centroid).
Thus, as shown in Figure 2.1a, ihe centroid and shear center
coincide for doubly symmetric cross-sections such as W-, M-,
S., and HP-shapes, square, rectangular and round hollow
structural sections (HSS), and steel pipe (P).
Singly symumetric cross-sections such as channels (C and
MC) and tees (WT, MT, and ST) have their shear centers on
the axis of symmetry, but not necessarily at the centroid. AS
illustrated in Figure 2.1b, the shear center for channels is at
distance e, from the face of the channel; the location of the
shear center for channels is tabulated in Appendix A.as well
as Part | of AISC (1994) and may be calculated as shown in
Appendix C. The shear center for a tee is at the intersection
of the centerlines of the flange and stem, The shear center
location for unsymmetric cross-sections such as angles (L)
and Z-shapes is illustrated in Figure 2.6.
22 Resistance of a Cross-section toa Torsional
Moment
Ac any point along the length of a member subjected to a
torsional moment, the cross-section will rotate through an
angle 6 as shown in Figure 2.2. For non-circular cross-see-
tions this rotation is accompanied by warping; that is, trans
verse sections do not remain plane." If this warping is com
pletely unrestrained, the torsional moment resisted by the
cross-section is

When the tendency for a cross-section to warp freely is
prevented or restrained, longitudinal bending results. This
is accompanied by shear stresses in the plane of the

2.3 Avoiding and Minimizing Torsion
‘The commonly used structural shapes offer relatively poor
resistance to torsion, Hence, it is best to avoid torsion by
detailing the loads and reactions to act through the shear
center of the member, However, in some instances, this may
not always be possible. AISC (1994) offers several sugges
tions for eliminating torsion; see pages 2-40 through 2-42. For
example, rigid facade elements spanning between floors (the
weight of which would otherwise induce torsional loading of
the spandrel girder) may be designed to transfer lateral forces,
into the floor diaphragms and resist the eccentric effect as
illustrated in Figure 2.3. Note that many systems may be too
flexible for this assumption. Partial facade panels that do not
‘extend from floor diaphragm to floor diaphragm may be
designed with diagonal steel “kickers,” as shown in Figure
2.4, to provide the lateral forces. In either case, this eliminates
torsional loading of the spandrel beam or girder. Also, tor-
sional bracing may be provided at eccentric load points to
reduce or eliminate the torsional effect; refer to Salmon and
Johnson (1990).
‘When torsion must be resisted by the member ditectly, its
‘effect may be reduced through consideration of intermediate
torsional support provided by secondary framing. For exam:
ple, the rotation of the spandrel girder cannot exceed the total
end rotation of the beam and connection being supported.
‘Therefore, a reduced torque may be calculated by evaluating
the torsional stiffness of the member subjected to torsion
relative to the rotational stiffness of the loading system. The
bending stiffness of the restraining member depends upon its
‘end conditions; the torsional stiffness k of the member under
consideration (illustrated in Figure 2.5) is:
26)
the angle of rotation, measured in radians.
A fully restrained (FR) moment connection between the
framing beam and spandrel girder maximizes the torsional
restraint. Alternatively, additional intermediate torsional sup-
ports may be provided to reduce the span over which the
torsion acts and thereby reduce the torsional effect.
{As another example, consider the beam supporting a wall
and slab illustrated in Figure 2.6; caleulations for & si
‘case may be found in Johnston (1982). Assume that the bea

ff the beam due to the weight of the wall is 001 radians.
Without temporary shoring, the top of the wall would deflect,
laterally by nearly S-in. (72 in. x 0.01 rad.). The additional
load due to the slab would significantly increase this lateral
deflection, One solution to this problem is to make the bes
and wall integral with reinforcing steel welded to the top
flange of the beam, In addition to appreciably increasing the
torsional rigidity of the system, the wall, because of its
bending stiffness, would absorb nearly all of the torsional
load. To prevent twist during construction, the steel beam
‘would have to be shored until the floor slab is in place
2.4 Selection of Shapes for Torsional Loading,
In general, the torsional performance of closed cross-sections
is superior to that for open cross-sections. Circular closed
shapes, such as round HSS and steel pipe, are most efficient
for resisting torsional loading. Other closed shapes, such as
square and rectangular HSS, also provide considerably better
resistance to torsion than open shapes, such as W-shapes and
channels, When open shapes must be used, their torsional
resistance may be increased by creating a box shape, €.£4 BY

GENERAL TORSIONAL THEORY
Acomplete discussion of torsional theory is beyond the scope
Of this publication. The brief discussion that follows is in
tended primarily to define the method of analysis used in this
book, More detailed coverage of torsional theory and other
topics is available in the references given,
3. Torsional Response

structural shape is the sum of that due to pure torsion and that
due to restrained warping, Thus, for «constant torque T along

Appendix C.1.
3.2 Torsional Properties
Torsional properties J, 2, C., W,, and S, ,are necessary for the
solution of the above equations.and the equations fortorsional,
stress presented in Chapter 4. Since these values are depend
cent only upon the geomeity of the cross-section, they have
been tabulated for common structural shapes in Appendix A.
as well as Part 1 of AISC (1994). Por the derivation of
torsional properties for various cross-sections, see Appendix,
Cand Heins (1975). Values for Q, and Q,. which ae used 10
compute plane bending shear stresses in the Mange and edge
of the web, are also included in the tables for all relevant
shapes except Z-shapes
The terms J, a, and C, are properties of the entire eross-
section. The terms W, and S, vary at different points on the
cross-section as illustrated in Appendix A. The tables give all
values of these tetmas necessary to determine the maximum
values of the combined stress
3.2.1 Torsional Constant
‘The torsional constant J for solid round and flat bars, square,

For single-angles and structural tees, J may be calculated

Since pure torsional shear stresses will generally dominate
‘over warping stresses, stresses due to warping are usually
neglected in single angles (see Section 4.2) and structural tees
(see Section 4.3); equations for other torsional properties
have not been included, Since the centerlines of each element
Of the cross-section intersect at the shear center, the general
solution of Appendix C3.1 would yield W,,= S,,= C= a=
0. A value of a (and therefore C,) is required, however, to

dix B.

In addition to the torsional properties given in Section
above, the torsional rotation ® and its derivativ
sary forthe solution of equations 3.1, 3.2, and 33. In Appen-
dix B, these equations have been evaluated for twelve com-
‘mon combinations of end condition (xed, pinned, and fee)
and load type. Members are assumed to be prismatic. The
idealized fixed, pinned, and free torsional end conditions for
which practical examples are illustrated in Figure 3.3, are
defined in Appendix C.2.
‘The solutions give the rotational esponse @ and derivatives

tude ofthe applied torsional moment.
For each case, there are four graphs providing values of 6,

ANALYSIS FOR TORSION
In this chapter, the determination of torsional stresses and
their combination with stresses due to bending and axial load
is covered for both open and closed cross-sections. The AISC
Specification provisions forthe design of members subjected
to torsion and serviceability considerations fos torsional rota~
tion ate discussed,
4.1 Torsional Stresses on I-, C-, and Z-shaped Open
Cross-Sections
Shapes of open eross-section tend to warp under torsional
loading. If this warping is unrestrained, only pure torsional
stresses are present, However, when warping is restrained,
additional direct shear stresses as well as longitudinal stresses
‘due to warping must also be considered, Pute torsional shear
stresses, shear stresses due to warping, and normal stresses
due to warping are cach related to the derivatives of the
rotational function @. Thus, when the derivatives of @ are
determined along the girder length, the corresponding stress
‘conditions can be evaluated. The calculation of these stresses
is dascribed in the following sections.
4.11 Pure Torsional Shear Stresses
‘These shear stresses are always present on the cross-section
of a member subjected to 2 torsional moment and provide the
resisting moment 7, as described in Section 2.2. These are
in-plane shear stresses that vary linearly across the thickness,
of an element of the cross-section and act in a direction
parallel to the edge of the element. They are maximum and
equal, but of opposite direction, at the two edges. The maxi-
mum stress is determined by the equation:
= Goel ay
where
‘4, = pure torsional shear stress at element edge, ksi
G = shear modulus of elasticity of steel, 11,200 ksi
1 = thickness of element, in.
= cate of change of angle of rotation 0, first derivative
‘of @ with respect to z (measured along longitudinal
axis of member)
‘The pure torsional shear stresses will be largestin the thickest
elements of the cross-section. These stress states are illus-
trated in Figures 4.1b, 4.2b, and 4.3b for T-shapes, channels,
‘and Z-shapes.
41.2. Shear Stresses Due to Warping
When amemberis allowed to warp freely, these shear stresses
will not develop. When warping is restrained, these are in-
plane shear stresses that are constant across the thickness of
an element of the cross-section, but vary in magnitude along,
the length of the element. They act in a direction parallel to
the edge of the element. The magnitude of these stresses is,
determined by the equation:(42a)

‘These stress states are illustrated in Figures 4,1¢, 4.2c, and
4.3e for [-shapes, channels, and Z-shapes. Numerical sub-
scripts are added to represent points of the cross-section as
illustrated.
4.1.3 Normal Stresses Due to Warping
When a member is allowed to warp freely, these normal
stresses will not develop. When warping is restrained, these
are ditect stresses (tensile and compressive) resulting from
bending of the element due to torsion. Tuey act perpendicular
1o the surface of the cross-section and are constant across the
thickness of an element of the cross-section but vary in
nagnitude along the length of the element. The magnitude of
these stresses is determined by the equstion:

W,, = normalized warping function at points (see Appen-
dix A), in?

‘These stress states are illustrated in Figures 4.1d, 4.24, and
43d for Fshapes, channels, and Z-shapes, Numerical sub-
scripts are added to represent points of the cross-section as
illustrated,
4.1.4 Approximate Shear and Normal Stresses Due 10
Warping on -Shapes
‘The shear and normal stresses duc to warping may be approxi-
‘mated for short-span I-shapes by resolving the torsional mo-
‘meat 7 into an equivalent force couple acting at the Manges
as illustrated in Figure 4.4, Each flange is then analyzed as a
‘beara subjected to this force. The shear stress at the center of
the flange is approximated as
13¥,
as
where ¥jis the value of the shear in the flange at any point
along the length. The normal stress atthe tips of the Mange is,
approximated as:
(4.26)
= 4.36)
-M, = bending moment on the flange at any point along the
length,
4.2. Torsional Stress on Single-Angles
‘Single-angles tend to warp under torsional loading. If this
‘warping is unrestrained, only pure torsional shear stresses
develop. However, when warping is restrained, additional
direct shear stresses as well as longitudinal siress due to
warping are present
Pure torsional shear stress may be calculated using Equa
tion 4.1. Gjelsvik (1981) identified that the shear stresses due
to warping ate of two kinds: in-plane shear stresses, which
vary from zero at the toe to a maximum at the heel of the
angle; and secondary shear stresses, which vary from zero at
the hee! 10 a raaximum at the toe of the angle. These stresses
are illustrated in Figure 4.5,
Warping strengths of single-angles are, in general, rela-
tively small. Using typical angle dimensions. it can be shown
that the two shear stresses due to warping are of approxi
mately the same order of magnitue, but represent less than
20 percent of the pure torsional shear stress (AISC, 1993b).
‘When all the shear stresses are added, the result is a maximum
sucface shear stress near mid-length of the angle leg. Since
this is a local maximum that does not extend through the
thickness of the angle, itis sufficient to ignore the shear
stresses due to warping. Similarly, normal stresses due t0
‘warping are considered to be negligible.
For the design of shelf angles, refer to Tide and Krogstad
1993),
43. Torsional Stress on Structural Tees
‘Structural tees tend to warp under torsional loading. If this
warping is unrestrained, only pure torsional shear stresses
develop. However, when warping is restrained, additional
direct shear stresses as well as longitudinal or normal stress
‘due to warping are present. Pure torsional shear stress may be
calculated using Equation 4.1. Warping stresses of structural
‘ees are, in general, relatively small. Using typical tee dimen-
sions, it can be shown that the shear and normal stresses due
to warping are negligible.
44. Torsional Stress on Closed and Solid
Cross-Sections
Torsion on a
salar shape (hollow or solid) is resisted by
shear stresses in the cross-section that vary directly with
distance from the centroid. The cross-section remains plane
4s it ewists (without warping) and torsional loading develops
pure torsional stresses only. While non-circular closed cross-Table 4.1

te
sections tend to warp under torsional loading, this warping is
minimized since longitudinal shear prevents relative dis-
placement of adjacent plate elements as illustrated in Fig
ure 4.6
‘The analysis and design of thin-walled (b/t 2 10) closed
cross-sections for torsion is simplified with the assumption
that the torque is absorbed by shear ferces that are uniformly
distributed over the thickness ofthe element (Siev, 1966). The
_general torsional response can be determined from Equation
3.1 with the warping term neglected, For a constant torsional
moment T'the shear stress %, may be calculated a:

thickness of bounding elements as illustrated in Fig-
ure 47, in,
1 = thickness of bounding element, in
For solid round and flat bars, square, rectangular and round
HSS and steel pipe, the torsional shear stress may be caleu-
lated using the equations given in Table 4.1. Note that the
‘equation for the hollow circular cross-section in Table 4.1 is
not in a form based upon Equation 4.4 and is valid for any
wall thickness
48. Elastic Stresses Due to Bending and Axial Load
In addition tothe torsional stresses, bending and shear stresses
(6, and %, respectively) due to plane bending are normally
present in the structural member, These stresses are deter
‘mined by the following equations:

accuracy of the method presented herein to combine this
theoretical value with the torsional shearing stress calculated
for the point at the intersection ofthe web and flange center-
lines
Figure 44 illustrates the distribution of these stresses,
shown for the ease of a moment causing bending about the
major axis of the cross-section and shear acting along the
‘minor axis of the cross-section. The stress distribution inthe
Z-shape is somewhat complicated because the major axis is
not parallel tothe flanges,

In the foregaing, it is imperative that the direction of the
stresses be carefully observed. The positive direction of the
torsional stresses as used in the sign convention presented
hereinis indicated in Figures 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3. Inthe sketches
accompanying cach figure, the stresses are shown acting on
‘cross-section of the member located at distance = from the
left support and viewed in the direction indicated in Figure
4.1. Inall of the sketches, the applied torsional moment acts
at some arbitrary point along the member in the direction
indicated. Inthe sketches of Figure 4.8, the momentacts about

advanced analysis and/or special design precautions are sug
gested for slender open cross-sections subjected to torsion.
47.2. Allowable Stress Design (ASD)
‘Although not explicitly covered in the ASD Specification, the
‘design for the combination of torsional and other stresses in
ASD can proceed essentially similarly to that in LRED,
‘except that service loads are used in place of factored loads.
In the absence of allowable stress provisions for the design of
members subjected to torsion and torsion combined with
‘other forces, the following provisions, which parallel

4.7.3 Effect of Lateral Restraint at Load Point
Chu and Johnson (1974) showed that for an unbraced be:
subjected to both flexure and torsion, the stress due to warping
is magnified for a W-shape as its lateral-torsional buckling
strength is approached; this is analogous to beam-column
bbohavior, Thus, if Jateral displacement or twist i not re-
strained at the load poinl, the secondary effects of lateral
bending and warping restraint stresses may become signili-
cant and the following additional requirement is also conser-
vatively suggested.
For the LRFD Specification provisions of Section 4.7.1,

normal stiess 6, by the factor

48 Torsional Serviceability Criteria
{In addition to the strength provisions of Section 4.7, members
subjected to torsion must be checked for torsional rotation 8
‘The appropriate serviceability limitation varies; the rotation
limit for a member supporting an exterior masonry wall may
18
differ from that for a member supporting a curtain-wall sys-
tem, Therefore, the rotation limit must be selected based upon
the requirements of the intended application,
Whether the design check was determined with factored
loads and LRFD Specification provisions, or service loads
and ASD Specification provisions, the serviceability check of
© should be made at service load levels (ie., against unfac-
toted torsional moment).The design aids of Appendix B as
‘well as the general equations in Appendix C are required for

Example 5.6
As illustrated in Figure $.6a, a 3x3x% single angle is cantile-
vered 2 ft (24 in.) and supports a 2-kip factored load (1.33-kip
service load) at midspan that acts as shown with a 1.5-in
eccentricity with respect to the shear center. Determine the
stresses on the cross-section, the torsional rotation, and ifthe
member is adequate if F = 50 ksi
Given:
The end condition is assumed to be flesurally and torsionatly
fixed, The eccentric load can be resolved into a torsional
‘moment and a load applied through the shear center as shown
in Figure $.6b, The resulting flexural and torsional loadings
are illustrated in Figure 5.6c. The flexural and torsional
properties are as follows:
