The shear modulus (G), modulus of elasticity (E) and the Poisson's ratio ($$\mu$$) of a material are related as

Calculate the shape factor for the $$T$$-section shown in the following figure made up of two plates $$100\,\,mm \times 10\,\,mm.$$ What will be the load factor if the permissible stress in bending is only $$2/3$$ of the yield stress $$\left( {{\sigma _y}} \right)$$

A steel beam (with a constant $$EI,$$ and span $$L$$) is fixed at both ends and carries a uniformly distributed load ($$w$$ $$kN/m$$), which is gradually increased till the beam reaches the stage of plastic collapse (refer to the following figure). Assuming $$'B'$$ to be at mid-span, which of the following is true.

A propped cantilever beam of span $$'L'$$ is loaded with $$u.d.l$$ of intensity $$w$$/unit length, all through the span. Bending Moment at the fixed end is
