Steel Structure Design - Engineering

Q1:

The moment of the couple set up in a section of a beam by the logitudinal compressive and tensile force, is known as

A bending moment

B moment of resistance

C flexural stress moment

D none of these.

ANS:B - moment of resistance

Bending causes tensile and compressive forces perpendicular to the section of beam i.e. parallel to the longitudinal axis, these forces produce couple to counter the bending moment known as Resistive Moment.
