This paper summarises information on the effects of the moment distribution and load height on the elastic buckling of cantilevers which can be used in the method of design by buckling analysis. It then extends a method of designing supported beams by inelastic buckling analysis to allow for the effects of the moment distribution on the inelastic buckling of cantilevers. This extended method is then used to provide improved design methods for cantilevers which are consistent with those for simply supported beams. A worked example is summarized.
