Cross sections, which can develop the plastic moment of resistance, but have inadequate plastic hinge rotation capacity for the formation of a plastic mechanism before buckling are classed as:
Correct Answer: B — compact sections
Explanation:
Explanation Various types of the section are as follows: 1. Plastic - Cross sections, which can develop plastic hinges and have, the rotation capacity required for the failure of the structure by formation of a plastic mechanism, are called plastic sections. The stress distribution for these sections is rectangular.
