Which consequence results when load exceeds the plastic moment capacity in a steel I-beam within a high-rise building?

💡 Explanation

A plastic hinge forms because the bending stress surpasses the yield strength, initiating full yielding across the beam section, therefore limiting further moment resistance, rather than elastic deformation or strain hardening, under increased loading.
