Strength of MaterialsStrength of Materials and Structural AnalysisMEDIUM
Choose the correct answer
A
Plastic collapse only
B
No tensile stress anywhere in section
C
Maximum shear at surface
D
Zero compressive stress
Correct Answer
B. No tensile stress anywhere in section
Why is this the answer?
If resultant passes through kern, stress remains compressive throughout.
