Plastic Neutral Axis Calculation Example

This document provides an example calculation for determining the location of the plastic neutral axis (PNA) in a structural section. It defines the PNA as the axis that splits the cross section such that the compression force equals the tension force. It asks whether the PNA should be found using force equilibrium or taking moments, and if both methods are the same. The document is sponsored by Professional Publications Inc. (PPI) and provides a form to contact PPI for more review materials.

Find the location of the PNA (plastic neutral axis) from top for the following section.

Solution

The plastic neutral axis is defined as the axis that splits the cross section in such a way that the
compression force from the compression area is equal to the tension force from the tension area.

Some other book write to take moment about a reference axis to find the plastic neutral axis.
When should we use moment to find PNA and when should we use force equilibrium to find PNA?
Are both methods the same?
