Which of the following is true about kinematic analysis?(a) virtual work equations are not used to determine collapse load(b) virtual work equations are used to determine collapse load(c) equilibrium condition is assumed(d) plasticity condition is assumedThe question was asked during an interview.I need to ask this question from Theorem of Plastic Collapse & Methods of Plastic Analysis topic in division Plastic and Local Buckling Behaviour of Steel of Design of Steel Structures

Answer»

The correct option is (b) virtual work equations are USED to determine collapse LOAD

To ELABORATE: In kinematic method, a MECHANISM is assumed and virtual work equations are used to determinethe collapse load.
