Question: A 2 m long beam ( Fig . 1 a ) with a T - shaped cross - section ( Fig . 1 b )

A 2 m long beam (Fig.1 a) with a T-shaped cross-section (Fig.1 b) is rigidly built in at the left end and simply supported at the midspan and right end. The beam is made of the elastic - ideal plastic material with yield strength y=450MPa, Young's modulus E=207 GPa and Poisson's ratio v=0.31. The beam is loaded by a concentrated load, F, applied 0.4 m from the left end and a uniformly distributed load with the intensity equal to w=2*F1m as shown in Fig. 1 a. Find the value of F corresponding to the onset of the plastic collapse.
