Q1：Determine the plastic collapse load Pc for the following beams: (assuming
constant Mpl)

Q2：Determine the plastic collapse loads for the following beam (with Mpl) and
show clearly all three conditions (Equilibrium, Mechanism and Yield Conditions)
being satisfied. Draw the bending moment distribution and show the key moment
values under point loads and over supports.

Q3：As shown in the following figure, a fixed-base rectangular portal frame is


subjected to two horizontal loads of 2P and 3P. (a) Draw the three possible
collapse mechanisms (b) Determine the critical collapse load Pc (in terms of Mpl
and L) (c) Draw the bending moment diagram at critical collapse load Pc and (d)
hence show Pc is the true unique collapse load.
