The moment capacity of semi-compact section for V > 0.6Vd is given by(a) Md = Zefyγm0(b) Md = Zefy(c) Md = fy/γm0(d) Md = Zefy/γm0The question was posed to me in an online interview.The origin of the question is Design Strength of Laterally Supported Beams topic in portion Design of Beams of Design of Steel Structures

Answer»

The correct option is (d) MD = Zefy/γm0

The explanation: Few I-and channel sections are semi-compact because of width-thickness RATIO. The moment capacity of semi-compact section for V > 0.6Vd is given by Md = Zefy/γm0, where Ze = ELASTIC section modulus of whole section, fy = YIELD stress of material, γm0 = partial safety factor.
