( as per clause 4.2.5 of BS 5950, part-1)
Dead and imposed loads will cause the top flange (flange restrained by the
floor slab) to compression. Owing to the presence of slab, compression
flange of beams are assumed to have lateral restraint as per Cl.4.2.2,
BS 5950.

c) Design of beam for temporary loads (at the time of concrete pouring)
At the time of pouring, loads on the beam are dead weight due to
deck sheeting, selfweight of beam and construction loads. Compression
flange is assumed to be unrestrained (restraint due to deck sheeting is not
considered).
