8-1.
The values of S and Z and the shape factor about the horizontal x-x axes for the given section.
Answer to Problem 8.1PFS
Explanation of Solution
The cross-section is shown below:
The depth of neutral axis from bottom is given by
The area of both section 1 and section 2 are
The depth of centre of gravity both section 1 and section 2 are
Now, substituting the values in equation (1),
The distance of centre of gravity from section 1 from the Neutral Axis (N.A.) is
The distance of centre of gravity from section 2 from the Neutral Axis (N.A.) is
The moment of inertia is
The elastic section modulus is
The location of plastic neutral axis is
The area of flange is greater than the half of the sectional area. Hence the plastic neutral axis is located within the flange as shown in the above figure.
The depth of plastic neutral axis from top of the section x is
The area of both section 1 and section 2 are
The depths of centre of gravity both section 1 and section 2 from plastic neutral axis are
The plastic section modulus is
The shape factor is
Conclusion:
The values of S and Z and the shape factor about the horizontal x-x axes are
