(b) short and deep girders have very low warping resistance

(c) long shallow girders have low warping stiffness

(d) short and shallow girders have very low warping resistance

The question was asked in an online quiz.

The doubt is from Lateral Torsional Buckling topic in chapter Design of Beams of Design of Steel Structures

Answer 1

Right answer is (c) long shallow girders have low warping stiffness

For explanation I would say: Short and deep girders have very high warping stiffness while long shallow girders have low warping stiffness or resistance.
