Step:-1 Elastic Section Modulus:: F A F L

1) The document provides an example calculation to determine the nominal section moment capacity of a steel beam cross-section. 2) The cross-section dimensions, yield stress of steel, and whether the section is welded are given. 3) The calculation involves determining the plastic section modulus, elastic section modulus, plate slenderness, effective section modulus, and then using these to calculate the nominal section moment capacity.
