Question 53
CENAT2 marksNeeds review
Consider the beam section shown in the figure, with
indicating the depth of neutral axis (NA). The section is only subjected to an increasing bending moment. It is given that
mm, when the section has not yielded at the top and bottom fibres. Further,
decreases to 5 mm, when the entire section has yielded. The shape factor of the section is ____________ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
