Yield Stress of a Section in Design of Steel Structures Formulas

Yield Stress of a Section is how much force needs to be applied to a beam to cause it to change from elastic deformation to plastic deformation. And is denoted by fy. Yield Stress of a Section is usually measured using the Newton per Square Meter for Stress. Note that the value of Yield Stress of a Section is always negative.
