Interactive Quizzes
Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.
Question 1
What is the nominal moment strength formula for compact sections?
- M_n = Z * F_y
- M_n = F_y / Z
- M_n = Z + F_y
💡 Hint: Remember the components involved in the equation.
Question 2
True or False: All sections can be classified as either compact or partially compact.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Think about how beam categories help in design.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A steel beam is designed with a width of 12 inches and a thickness of 0.5 inches. Determine if it qualifies as compact based on the width-to-thickness ratio for flanges.
💡 Hint: Always reference the given formulas for critical ratios.
Question 2
A beam experiences a load causing a moment of 5000 in-lbs. Calculate the necessary plastic section modulus given that the yield strength is 36 ksi.
💡 Hint: Use units correctly to ensure accurate calculations.
