Why is it necessary to use class 1 cross sections when plastic theory is used?
lb.
lc.
Draw the possible plastic failure mechanisms for the frame given in Figure 1.
Id.
Calculate the maximum load according to the combined failure mechanism obtained in question
lc.
le.
Prove that this combined mechanism as determined in question l c and I d is the real collapse
load of the frame.
If.
In addition to the determination of the lowest collapse load based on the possible mechanisms an
additional "collapse load" is determined based on a deformation limit of 46/50.
Explain why the "real" collapse load is the lowest of both collapse loads.
