If we take a compact beam whose compression flange is continuously braced laterally, we would find that

Beams with compact sections in Zone 1 exhibit:

Beams designed in Zone 1 have

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of designing beams in Zone 1?

The use of the plastic moment capacity (Mp) in Zone 1 design is based on the assumption of:

In AISC-LRFD, beams entering Zone 2 exhibit:

The primary reason for entering Zone 2 in beam design is:

Which of the following statements is TRUE about moment capacity in Zone 2?

Moment redistribution in beams with plastic hinges in Zone 2:

Beams with compact sections in Zone 2 typically:

The design of beams in Zone 2 is a more complex process compared to Zone 1 due to:

Compared to Zone 1 or 2, beams designed in Zone 3 typically have:

If the unbraced length is greater than Lr

The primary purpose of lateral support for beams is to prevent:

Compared to Zone 1 or 2 beams, beams designed in Zone 3 typically have:

Plastic hinges form:

A key consequence of elastic buckling in Zone 3 is:

Which type of lateral support is least effective for beams in Zone 2?
