Plastic Analysis Question 1:
In the analysis of structures by plastic theory, the following conditions must be satisfied
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plastic Analysis Question 1 Detailed Solution
Concept:
The conditions to be satisfied for the plastic methods of analysis are as follows:
1. Equilibrium Condition:
- All the equilibrium conditions, i.e. summation of all the forces and moments should be equal to zero.
2. Mechanism Condition:
- The structure at collapse must be capable of deforming as a mechanism due to the formation of plastic hinges, i.e., the ultimate load is reached when a mechanism forms. this is also called the continuity condition.
3. Yield Condition:
- This is also called the plastic moment condition. The bending moment at any section must not exceed the full plastic moment of the section (M ≤ Mp).
Plastic Analysis Question 2:
The plastic modulus of a section is 4.8 × 10-4 m3. The shape factor is 1.2. The plastic moment capacity of the section is 120 kN-m. The yield stress of the material is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plastic Analysis Question 2 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Shape Factor: It is defined as the ratio of moment carrying capacity of the plastic section over that of the elastic section when the yielding just starts.
\(Shape\;Factor = \frac{{{Z_P}{\sigma _y}}}{{{Z_e}{\sigma _y}}} = \frac{{{M_P}}}{{{M_y}}} = \frac{{{Z_P}}}{{{Z_e}}}\)
Shape factor values for different sections:
Shape Factor |
Section |
1.5 |
Rectangular |
1.7 |
Circular |
2.34 |
Triangular |
Calculation:
Plastic modulus of section ZP = 4.8 × 10-4 m3
Plastic moment Capacity MP = 120 kNm
Plastic moment capacity is given by,
\({M_P} = {Z_P}{\sigma _y}\)
Yield Stress is given by,
\({\sigma _y} = \frac{{{M_P}}}{{{Z_P}}} = \frac{{120 \times 1000}}{{4.8 \times {{10}^{ - 4}}}} = 250 \times {10^6}\;N/{m^2} = 250\;MPa\)
Plastic Analysis Question 3:
For a rectangular section with width ‘a’ and depth ‘2a’, the ratio of plastic section modulus to elastic modulus will be:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plastic Analysis Question 3 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Plastic section modulus is given by,
\(Z_p=\frac{A}{2}(\overline {{y_1}} + \overline {{y_2}} )\)
Elastic section modulus is given by, Ze = I/y
Concept:
Plastic section modulus, \(Z_p=\frac{A}{2}(\overline {{y_1}} + \overline {{y_2}} )\)
⇒ \({Z_p} = \frac{{a \times 2a}}{2}\left( {\frac{a}{2} + \frac{a}{2}} \right)\)
Zp = a3
Elastic section modulus, \({Z_e} = \frac{{\frac{{a \times {{\left( {2a} \right)}^3}}}{{12}}}}{{\frac{{2a}}{2}}}\)
Ze = (2/3) a3
Ratio of Plastic section modulus to elastic section modulus,
\(\frac{{{Z_p}}}{{{Z_e}}} = \frac{{{a^3}}}{{\frac{2}{3} \times {a^3}}} = 1.5\)
Plastic Analysis Question 4:
A false statement regarding the disadvantages of using plastic design method is?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plastic Analysis Question 4 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Plastic design:
- Plastic design is a method by which elements are selected considering the system's overall ultimate capacity.
- It utilizes the full strength of steel and hence also called the ultimate load method
Advantages of plastic design:
- Realization of uniform and realistic F.O.S for all parts of the structures
- Simplified analytical procedure and readily of obtaining design moments since there is no need to satisfy elastic strain compatibility conditions.
- Saving of material over elastic methods resulting in lighter structures.
- No effect due to temperature changes, settlement of supports, imperfection, erection method, because their only effect is to change the amount of rotation required.
Disadvantages of plastic design:
- Obtaining collapse load is difficult if the structure is reasonably complicated.
- There is little saving in column design.
- Difficult to design for fatigue.
- Lateral bracing requirements are more than stringent than elastic design because of its lighter structure which may lead to dimensional instability of the stucture.
Plastic Analysis Question 5:
The shape factor of a triangular section is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plastic Analysis Question 5 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Shape factor
- It is defined as the ratio of the plastic moment to yield moment.
- It is a function of cross-section or shape and is represented by ' f '.
- \(f = \frac{{{M_P}}}{{{M_y}}} = \frac{{{f_y}{Z_{Pz}}}}{{{f_y}{Z_{ez}}}} = \frac{{{Z_{Pz}}}}{{{Z_{ez}}}}\)
Shape factor for different cross-sectional shapes:
Section | Shape factor |
Triangular | 2.34 |
Diamond | 2 |
Rectangle / Square | 1.5 |
I - Section | 1.12 to 1.14 |
H - Section | 1.5 |
Circular hollow section | 1.27 |
Solid Circular section | 1.67 |
Plastic Analysis Question 6:
If a framed structure is statically indeterminate to the second degree, then the minimum number of plastic hinges required for the complete collapse of the structure will be
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plastic Analysis Question 6 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Plastic hinge
- The deformation of a part of a beam wherever plastic bending happens or the greatest deformation (i.e. curvature).
- If an indeterminate structure has redundancy r, then insertion of r plastic hinges makes it statically determinate and any further insertion of hinges converts this statically determinate structure into a mechanism.
- Hence for collapse the number of plastic hinges required = r + 1
Calculation:
Given,
Degree of redundancy, r = 2
The minimum number of plastic hinges required for the complete collapse of the structure, n = 2 +1 = 3.
Plastic Analysis Question 7:
The collapse load for the following cantilever beam if length 'L' is given by _____
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plastic Analysis Question 7 Detailed Solution
For the given beam:
Number of possible plastic hinges: 2 (B, A)
Case 1: Plastic hinge at point B, where cross-section changes
External work done (We) = Work Done × Displacement = 2W × Δ
Internal work done (Wi) = Moment × Rotation
\(\therefore {{\text{W}}_{\text{i}}}={{\text{M}}_{\text{p}}}\times \text{ }\!\!\theta\!\!\text{ }={{\text{M}}_{\text{p}}}\times \frac{\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}{\text{L}/2}=\frac{2{{\text{M}}_{\text{p}}}\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}{\text{L}}\)
Equating external work done to external work done ⇒ We = Wi
\(\therefore {{\text{W}}_{\text{c}}}=\frac{{{\text{M}}_{\text{p}}}}{\text{L}}\)
Case 2: Plastic hinge at the support A
External work done (We) = 2W × Δ
Internal work done (Wi) = 1.5 Mp × θ
∴ We = Wi
\(\Rightarrow {{\text{W}}_{\text{c}}}=\frac{0.75}{\text{L}}{{\text{M}}_{\text{P}}}\)
Collapse load is the lower value of the above two cases:
∴ Collapse load (Wc) \(=\frac{0.75\text{ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ }{{\text{M}}_{\text{p}}}}{\text{L}}\)
Plastic Analysis Question 8:
The cross-sections that can develop plastic hinges and have rotation capacity required for failure of the structure by formation of plastic mechanism are called:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plastic Analysis Question 8 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Slender section:
The cross-section in which the elements buckle locally even before the attainment of yield stress are called slender sections.
Plastic section:
Cross-sections, which can develop a plastic hinge and have the rotation capacity required for the failure of the structure by the formation of a plastic mechanism are called plastic sections.
Compact section:
Cross-section which can develop the plastic moment of resistance but have inadequate plastic hinge rotation capacity for formation of a plastic mechanism before bucking are called compact section.
Semi-compact section:
The cross-section in which the extreme fibre in compression can reach yield stress but cannot develop the plastic moment of resistance due to local buckling are called semi-compact or a non-compact section.
Plastic Analysis Question 9:
Collapse load for the beam shown in fig. is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plastic Analysis Question 9 Detailed Solution
Calculation:
Step 1: Degree of static indeterminacy, Ds = 2
∴ Number of plastic hinges required for mechanism or collapse = Ds + 1 = 3
Step 2: Determine the location of plastic hinges
Plastic hinge will for, at the fixed end and under concentrated load
Step 3: Sketch possible mechanism
Determine the ultimate load by solving the equilibrium equations using principle of virtual work
L/3 × θ = 2L/3 × α
θ = 2α
Internal work dne = MPθ + MP(θ + α) + MPα
External work done = W × L/3 × θ
∴ From principal of virtual work
Internal work done = External work done
MPθ + MP(θ + α) + MPα = W × L/3 × θ
MP 2α + MP (2α + α) + MPα = W × L/3 × θ
W = 9MP/L
Plastic Analysis Question 10:
The plastic moment capacity of the propped cantilever shown below is 'Mp'. What is the value of the collapse load:-
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plastic Analysis Question 10 Detailed Solution
Number of possible plastic hinges (N) = 2
Degree of indeterminacy = Ds = 3 - 2 = 1
Plastic hinge required to form mechanism (n) = Ds + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2
By the principle of virtual work done,
External work done = Intenal workdone
\({\rm{W}} \times \left( {\frac{{\rm{L}}}{2} \times {\rm{\theta }}} \right) = {{\rm{M}}_{\rm{p}}}\left( {\rm{\theta }} \right) + {{\rm{M}}_{\rm{p}}}\left( {{\rm{\theta }} + {\rm{\theta }}} \right)\)
\(\therefore \;{{\rm{W}}_{\rm{u}}} = \frac{{6{{\rm{M}}_{\rm{u}}}}}{{\rm{L}}}\)
