Mechanics and Structural Analysis

  1. 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________.
    1. 13.22
    2. 13.25
    3. 13.33
    4. 14
Correct Option: C

Mechanism I
3mp .θ + mp .(2 θ ) + mp θ

P u ×
L
× θ
4


⇒ 6mp .θ = P u ×
L
× θ
4

⇒ P u = 24
mp
L

Mechanism II

1.Φ = 3θ
⇒ Φ = 3θ

= 13.33
mp
L

∴ c = 13.33
