Plastic Modulus in Load and Resistance Factor Design for Buildings Formulas

Plastic Modulus is the geometric property of a plastic section which is defined as the ratio of the second moment of area to distance from neutral axis to extreme fiber. And is denoted by Z_p. Plastic Modulus is usually measured using the Cubic Millimeter for Volume. Note that the value of Plastic Modulus is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Plastic Modulus?

Plastic Modulus is the geometric property of a plastic section which is defined as the ratio of the second moment of area to distance from neutral axis to extreme fiber. Plastic Modulus is usually measured using the Cubic Millimeter for Volume. Note that the value of Plastic Modulus is always positive.

Can the Plastic Modulus be negative?

No, the Plastic Modulus, measured in Volume cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Plastic Modulus?

Plastic Modulus is usually measured using the Cubic Millimeter[mm³] for Volume. Cubic Meter[mm³], Cubic Centimeter[mm³], Liter[mm³] are the few other units in which Plastic Modulus can be measured.
