9. Process of yielding of a section
• Let M at a cross-section increases gradually.
• Within elastic limit, M = σ.Z
• Z is section modulus, I/y
• Elastic limit – yield stresses reached
M ZMy = σy.Z
• When moment is increased, yield spreads into innerWhen moment is increased, yield spreads into inner
fibres. Remaining portion still elastic
Fi ll th ti ti i ld• Finally, the entire cross-section yields

24. Mechanisms of failure
• A statically determinate beam will collapse if one plastic
hinge is developedhinge is developed
• Consider a simply supported beam with constant cross• Consider a simply supported beam with constant cross
section loaded with a point load P at midspan
• If P is increased until a plastic hinge is developed at the point
of maximum moment (just underneath P) an unstable
t t ill b t dstructure will be created.
• Any further increase in load will cause collapse• Any further increase in load will cause collapse
Dept. of CE, GCE Kannur Dr.RajeshKN
24
25. • For a statically indeterminate beam to collapse, more than oney p
plastic hinge should be developed
• The plastic hinge will act as real hinge for further increase of
load (until sufficient plastic hinges are developed for
collapse )collapse.)
• As the load is increased, there is a redistribution of moment,, ,
as the plastic hinge cannot carry any additional moment.

31. Methods of Plastic Analysisy
• Static method or Equilibrium method
- Lower bound: A load computed on the basis of an assumed- Lower bound: A load computed on the basis of an assumed
equilibrium BM diagram in which the moments are not greater than
MP is always less than (or at the worst equal to) the true ultimate
l dload.
• Kinematic method or Mechanism method or Virtual work• Kinematic method or Mechanism method or Virtual work
method
- Work performed by the external loads is equated to the internal
work absorbed by plastic hinges
Upper bound: A load computed on the basis of an assumed- Upper bound: A load computed on the basis of an assumed
mechanism is always greater than (or at the best equal to) the true
ultimate load.
Dept. of CE, GCE Kannur Dr.RajeshKN
31
32. • Collapse load (Wc): Minimum load at whichp c)
collapse will occur – Least value
• Fully plastic moment (MP): Maximum moment
capacity for design – Highest valuecapacity for design – Highest value
