Mechanics and Structural Analysis

  1. kN 75. A cantilever beam of length l width b and depth d is loaded with a concentrated vertical load at the tip. If yielding starts at a load P, the collapse load shall be
    1. 2.0 P
    2. 1.5 P
    3. 1.2 P
    4. P
Correct Option: B

Shape factor =
MP
ie,
Plastic moment
MeElastic moment

= 1.5 for rectangular.
Ultimate load = yield point × shape factor yield point = P
∴ ultimate load = P ×1.5 = 1.5 P
