Question

A prismatic steel beam is shown in the figure.

The plastic moment, $M_{P}$ calculated for the collapse mechanism using static method and kinematic method is

• A. $M_{P,static}> \frac{2PL}{9}=M_{P,kinematic}$

• A. $M_{P,static}= \frac{2PL}{9}\neq M_{P,kinematic}$

100. $M_{P,static}= \frac{2PL}{9}= M_{P,kinematic}$

500. $M_{P,static}< \frac{2PL}{9}= M_{P,kinematic}$
