Condition for Maximum Moment in Interior Spans of Beams with Plastic Hinge Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Distance of point where Moment is Maximum = (Length of Rectangular Beam/2)-((Ratio between Plastic Moments*Plastic Moment)/(Uniformly Distributed Load*Length of Rectangular Beam))
x = (Len/2)-((k*M_p)/(q*Len))
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Distance of point where Moment is Maximum - (Measured in Meter) - Distance of point where Moment is Maximum is the distance from a point where moment is maximum in the interior span.
Length of Rectangular Beam - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Rectangular Beam is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.
Ratio between Plastic Moments - Ratio between Plastic Moments is the ratio of plastic moment at the ends to the plastic moment at the center.
Plastic Moment - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Plastic Moment is the moment at which the entire cross section has reached its yield stress.
Uniformly Distributed Load - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Uniformly distributed Load (UDL) is a load that is distributed or spread across the whole region of an element whose magnitude of the load remains uniform throughout the whole element.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Length of Rectangular Beam: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required
Ratio between Plastic Moments: 0.75 --> No Conversion Required
Plastic Moment: 10.007 Kilonewton Meter --> 10007 Newton Meter (Check conversion here)
Uniformly Distributed Load: 10.0006 Kilonewton per Meter --> 10000.6 Newton per Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

x = (Len/2)-((k*M_p)/(q*Len)) --> (3/2)-((0.75*10007)/(10000.6*3))

Evaluating ... ...

x = 1.24984000959942

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.24984000959942 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.24984000959942 ≈ 1.24984 Meter <-- Distance of point where Moment is Maximum

What is Plastic Hinge?

Plastic Hinge is used to describe the deformation of a section of a beam where plastic bending occurs. In plastic limit analysis of structural members subjected to bending, it is assumed that an abrupt transition from elastic to ideally plastic behaviour occurs at a certain value of moment, known as plastic moment (Mp). Member behaviour between Myp and Mp is considered to be elastic. When Mp is reached, a plastic hinge is formed in the member.
