Lab 2 - Beam Plastic Failure W 200 mm 200 mm d Given: f= N/mm² Z (bd³/4); M. Zf, Load the frame in 5 x 50 N increments, then 4 x 20 N increments, and then in 10 N increments to failure. Measure the vertical deflections for each load increment. Plot the load-deflection curve and hence calculate the load to cause the plastic collapse of the frame.
