Shape factor
- It is defined as the ratio of the plastic moment to yield moment.
- It is a function of cross-section or shape and is represented by ' f '.
- \(f = \frac{{{M_P}}}{{{M_y}}} = \frac{{{f_y}{Z_{Pz}}}}{{{f_y}{Z_{ez}}}} = \frac{{{Z_{Pz}}}}{{{Z_{ez}}}}\)
Shape factor for different cross-sectional shapes:
Section | Shape factor |
Triangular | 2.34 |
Diamond | 2 |
Rectangle / Square | 1.5 |
