The study shows the results of theoretical investigations into lateral torsional buckling of bisymmetric I-beams elastically restrained against warping and against rotation in the plane of lateral torsional buckling (i.e., against lateral rotation) at the support nodes. The analysis accounted for the whole variation range of node stiffnesses, from complete warping freedom to full restraint, and from complete lateral rotation freedom to full restraint. It was assumed the beams are simply supported against bending about the major axis of the section. To determine the critical moment, the energy method was used. Both the twist angle function and the lateral deflection function of the beam were described using power polynomials with simple physical interpretation. Computer programmes were developed to make numerical and symbolic “computations”. General approximation formulas for the critical moment for lateral torsional buckling were derived. The formulas covered the basic and most frequently found loading diagrams. Detailed computations were performed for different values of the index of fixity against warping and against rotation in the plane of lateral torsional buckling. The critical moments determined using the programmes devised and approximation formulas were compared with the values obtained with LTBeam software (FEM). A very good congruence of results was found.
