Three Comments:
1. So far I have not come across any guideline in the draft code for flexural members braced along tension flange. This is a very common occurrence in continuous construction.
2. There seems to be a discrepancy between Cl. 8.2.1.2 and Cl. 9.2.2. Perhaps Cl. 8.2.1.2 should just point to Cl. 9.2.2.
3. Reduction in compression flange width as given in 8.6.2.1 should perhaps be related to actual stress at the section a la IS:801 or AISI. This will be important when considering combined stresses.
