Abstract
In chapter 2 it was shown that for the dimensioning of beams basically two methods are possible. The first method, called the Integral Method, involves developing a stress field for the whole structure. In the second method, called the Sectional Method, the stress resultants are determined firstly using conventional statical methods (elastic and plastic analysis). The dimensioning is then carried out for the governing regions with the aid of equilibrium considerations in suitable sections. In the case of simple sectional forms and distributed loads design formulas have been derived (Figs. 2.36, 2.51 and 2.59).
