Classification of Steel Sections | Back to the Drawing Board

Welcome back to the drawing board with me Steven Lloyd. You may remember a little while ago we talked about the design of a waling beam with combined effects. We had a look at Von Mises Stresses and we had a think about plastic and elastic properties of the beam. Now what determines whether you consider a beam to be plastic or elastic is its classification and today we will be looking at the classification of steel sections.
