Mechanisms of failure
A statically determinate beam will collapse if one plastic
hinge is developed
24
Dept. of CE, GCE Kannur Dr.RajeshKN
For a statically
y indeterminate beam to collapse,
p more than one
plastic hinge should be developed
The plastic hinge will act as real hinge for further increase of
load (until sufficient plastic hinges are developed for
collapse )

Methods of Plastic Analysis

Static method or Equilibrium method

equilibrium BM diagram in which the moments are not greater than
MP is always less than (or at the worst equal to) the true ultimate
