Shape factor is the ratio of plastic moment to yield moment of a given section. It gives the reserve strength of the section after yielding.

Plastic moment is the capacity of any section derived using the plastic analysis i.e. assuming that the whole section have yielded and plastic state is reached.

Yield moment the capacity of the section assuming that only the outermost fiber is yielded.

@Asaithambi.

Shape factor for Rectangular section = 1.5 & Circular section = 1.7.

Shape factor for square section = 1.5,
Rectangular section = 1.5.

I-section = 1.12 to 1.2.
Tube = 1.27.
Triangle = 2.346.
