Unless otherwise noted in the following problem, assume that the beam cross section is oriented so the strong axis is the bending axis.

For beams that have cross sections as shown for Problem, calculate the yield moment MY, the plastic moment MP, and the maximum uniformly distributed load that the beams can carry on a simple span of 14 ft. Assume that sY= 36 ksi.

Problem

Calculate the value of S and Z and the shape factor for the beam cross sections shown.
