QUIZ 3 Flashcards
Given the isosceles triangle with a ase b=10 and a height h=10 inches, determine the plastic modulus Z if Fy=100ksi
97.631
A box section is 8 times stronger than a wide flange section because
all elements are stiffened
A stiffened element is more critical than unstiffened element in terms of local buckling
false
When an section behaves in the plastic mode, the neutral axis divides the section into two
equal areas
A compact section satisfies the condition that the width-thickness ratio of a plate element shall not exceed the limit width to thickness ratio to ensure that
element is capable of large strain prior to local buckling
The moment of inertia (I) of an isosceles triangle with respect to the centroid is
bh^3/36
The limit for the plastic moment Mp is
1.5My
Given the isosceles triangle with a base b=10 and a heigh h=10 inches determine the location of its plastic centroid from the top
3.536
Given the isosceles triangle with a base b=10 and a heigh h=10 inches determine the location of its geometric centroid from the top
20/3
Main or primary flexural members are called
beams
Lateral torsional buckling is primarily due to the lateral translation of the
Compression Flange
Given the isosceles triangle with a ase b=10 and a height h=10 inches, determine the section modulus S if Fy=100ksi
83.333
Uniformly compressed elements have no compact limits
false
Shape factor is simply a ratio of
either of the two above
Beams with continuous lateral support such as those which carry continuous slabs are said to be
laterally supported
