A Second Advanced Course For Steel Structures Design
- This means, at higher load, the section calls upon its less-
stresses elastic portions to carry the load increase
- From equilibrium
- This cross section will plastify fully and a yielding zone will
be formed there
3. PLASTICITY AT THE CROSS SECTION
3.2.2 Plastification /Moment Redistribution in Beams
- As loads are further increased, the moment at the plastic
zone stays the same, and the additional load is taken by
less stressed sections
- Here is the yield moment of the section (). Note that the
ratio is equal to the ration . The moment- curvature
relationship is shown below.
3. PLASTICITY AT THE CROSS SECTION
3.3.2 Elastic-Plastic Regime
- Note that the full plastic moment capacity Mp is achieved
as or and hence
3. PLASTICITY AT THE CROSS SECTION
3.3.3 Full Plastic Moment and Shape Factor
- The moment-capacity in the elastic-plastic regime can
also be expressed in terms of Mp as follows,
3. PLASTICITY AT THE CROSS SECTION
3.3.3 Full Plastic Moment and Shape Factor
- Here, the second term on the rhs is the full plastic moment
and it is equal to the moment of the stresses in the section
at the fully plastic state
- The beam will fail when the bending moments at all three
peaks are equal to the plastic moment, forming a failure
mechanism
