The shape factor does not depend on ___(a) material properties(b) cross sectional shape(c) moment of resistance(d) section modulusThe question was asked in unit test.This interesting question is from Plastic Theory topic in chapter Plastic and Local Buckling Behaviour of Steel of Design of Steel Structures

Answer»

Correct option is (a) material properties

The best I can explain: Shape FACTOR, v = ZP/Ze = MP/My, where Zp and Ze are plastic and elastic SECTION modulus respectively, Mp and My are plastic and elastic moments respectively. This ratio is the property of cross-sectional shape and is INDEPENDENT of material properties.
