For formation of collapse mechanism in the following figure, the minimum value of Pu is cmp /L. mp and 3 mp denote the plastic moment capacities of beam sections as shown in this figure. The value of c is________.
-
- 13.22
- 13.25
- 13.33
- 14
Correct Option: C
Mechanism I
3mp .θ + mp .(2 θ ) + mp θ
P u × | × θ | 4 |

⇒ 6mp .θ = P u × | × θ | 4 |
⇒ P u = 24 | L |
Mechanism II

1.Φ = 3θ
⇒ Φ = 3θ

= 13.33 | L |
∴ c = 13.33
