Formulas: Compression Flange Yielding

Equation F4-1

where

$\begin{aligned} M_{y c} & =\text { yield moment in the compression flange, kip-in. (N-mm) } \\ & =F_{y} S_{x c}\end{aligned}$

$R_{p c}=$ web plastification factor, determined in accordance with Section F4.2(c)(6)

$S_{x c}=$ elastic section modulus referred to compression flange, in. ${ }^{3}\left(\mathrm{~mm}^{3}\right)$
