PE exam practice test Question 528
(OP)
Gents! Please take a look at the attachments I posted. This problem is kind of confusing and it doesn't mention where this comes from. If you guys are familiar with this scenario please let me know. Sx is the section modulus, Zx is some kind of axis? But where is FyZx less than or equal to 1.6My.






RE: PE exam practice test Question 528
But for checks that allow the use of plastic moments and Zx (the plastic modulus), it is typically limited to 1.6*Sx
For example, AISC weak axis bending of I shapes, Mp = FyZy <= 1.6FySy (F6-1)
(My is the yield moment = FyS)

1) I bet a lot of engineers would look at bending in the vertical leg.
2) The difference is pretty small but, technically, max bending is in the horizontal leg between the bolt and fillet.
3) The max shear is left of the bolt as a result of prying action. Presumably they don't want you to check shear as a) it's unlikely to govern and b) who the heck knows what the distribution of compression block force really is.
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
