Topic outline

  • General

    • Cross Sections Classifications

      • Class 1 cross sections can mobilise a plastic bending resistance with the rotation capacity required from plastic analysis without reduction of the resistance.
      • Class 2 cross sections can mobilise a plastic bending resistance with limited rotation capacity due to local buckling.
      • Class 3 cross sections can achieve a bending resistance corresponding to first yield; local buckling prevents the development of the plastic moment resistance.
      • Class 4 cross sections can achieve a bending resistance corresponding to buckling occur before the attainment of yield stress
