help in question 7 please

Questions 4 to 9 refer to an experimental test of a cantilevered W36x150 A992-50 beam conducted by Eatherton et al. (2013)1, which we discussed in class. A time-lapse video of the response is here: Lckt&index=16). A summary of the flexural response is shown below: 4.

Calculate the shape factor for both the strong and weak axis. For this example, assume A36 steel. 1 Toellner, B.W.

Explanation / Answer

in many cases test resuts do not match the experimental results because of the following reasons:-

1. due to shape and size of the members. in actual our members may be too large but we are testing on a similar small member so shape factor arise.

2. Due to stress concentrations which is most possible in case of complex structure or actual structures than in small specimen.

3. due to misalignments or grip between structures and testing machines which is possible in actual members due to which test does not become so accurate and variation occurs.
