BENDING STRESS AND PLASTIC
MOMENT
• A plastic hinge is said to have
formed at the beam where the
moment is largest, and this binge
along with the actual hinges at the
ends of the beams constitute an
unstable mechanism

BENDING STRESS AND PLASTIC
MOMENT
• The plastic neutral axis is defined as the axis that splits the cross section
in such a way that the compression force from the compression area is
equal to the tension force from the tension area.
• The shape factor, also known as the plastic section modulus ratio, is
defined as the ratio of the plastic section modulus to the elastic section
modulus of a beam cross-section.
Generally, the higher the shape factor, the better the section is in plastic
design, because it can utilize more of its material strength and ductility.
For example, sections with high shape factors tend to have large depths and
widths, which may increase the self-weight and the deflection of the beam.
Sections with high shape factors may also require more reinforcement or
stiffeners to prevent local buckling or lateral-torsional buckling. Moreover,
some design codes may impose upper limits on the shape factor or the plastic
moment capacity of the beam, depending on the ductility class or the
seismic zone of the structure.
SAMPLE PROBLEM
For the built-up shape shown, determine (a) the elastic section modulus
and the yield moment, (b) the plastic section modulus and plastic moment
and c) the shape factor of the section. Bending is about x-axis and the steel
has Fu = 450 MPa and Fy = 345 MPa.
SAMPLE PROBLEM
For the built up T-section, determine (a) the elastic section modulus and the
yield moment, (b) the plastic section modulus and plastic moment and c)
the shape factor of the section. Bending is about x-axis and the steel has Fu
= 450 MPa and Fy = 345 MPa.
PLASTIC ANALYSIS
• A statically determinate beam will fail if one plastic hinge
develops. The plastic analysis of statically determinate beam is
the same as for ordinary beam.
• For a statically indeterminate structure fail, it is necessary for more
than one plastic hinge to form.

BEAM STABILITY
• Lateral torsional buckling can be
prevented by bracing the beam against
twisting at sufficiently close intervals.

SAMPLE PROBLEM
A W410x60 of A992 (Fy = 345 MPa) steel beam is simply supported on a 10 m span. The beam
support a reinforced concrete floor slab that provides continuous lateral support of the
compression flange. The loads of the beams are:
Super imposed dead load = 7kN/m
Live load = 8 kN/m
Determine the adequacy of the beam based on moment strength.
SAMPLE PROBLEM
A W450x82 of A36 (Fy = 250 MPa) steel beam is fully laterally supported and supports a super-
imposed load of 12.5 kN/m. Determine the max. service live load that can be supported by the
beam based on LRFD and ASD.
