Probable Maximum Moment

Probable maximum moment at the plastic hinge location

Mpr = Cpr·Ry·Fy·Ze
Mpr = 1.15·1.1·50 ksi·200 in3
Mpr = 12650 kip·in

Mpr

Probable maximum moment at the plastic hinge

Cpr

Factor to account for peak connection strength (strain hardening) per AISC 358. Cpr = (Fy+Fu)/(2Fy) ≤ 1.2

Ry

Ratio of expected yield stress to the specified minimum yield stress

Fy

Specified minimum yield stress

Ze

Effective plastic section modulus of section at the plastic hinge
