The document summarizes plastic analysis and collapse mechanisms for steel design. Plastic analysis considers loads that cause stresses greater than the yield stress, causing yielding to propagate from the outer fibers toward the neutral axis. When the entire cross section yields, plastic hinges form, making the structure unstable. Any additional load causes collapse, known as the collapse mechanism. Example problems are given to calculate plastic moment capacities for beams.

PLASTIC ANALYSIS COLLAPSE MECHANISM
If the structure is subjected to loads that produce a stress When the whole cross-section yields, the material reaches greater than the yield stress of the material, yielding fully plastic condition and produces a plastic hinge that propagates from the outermost fiber to the plastic neutral makes your structure unstable. Thus, any additional load axis. after the establishment of the plastic hinge will cause the structure to collapse. This configuration of the structure is known to be the collapse mechanism.

PROBLEM 3. A continuous beam is to be designed using
the plastic method of analysis. The first span is 12 m long and the adjacent span is 8m. Both spans are loaded with uniform dead load of 40 kN/m. The shorter span carries concentrated live load of 90 kN at its center. Using a load factor of 1.2 for dead load and 1.6 for live loads, what is the beam’s plastic moment capacity?
