Figure Q3(a) shows an overhung beam AB that is subjected to point loads, P. The cross section of
the beam illustrated in Figure Q3(b), and the material behaves linearly elastic-perfectly plastic
with yield strength of 250 MPa. Taking the values of L = 2 m, and a = 1.2 m:
a) Calculate the shape factor of the beam cross section.
b) Calculate the load, Pp that will cause the beam to collapse (fully plastic) at the most
critical location.
c) What is the yielded length when the load, Pp in part (b) is applied?
