Metallic hyperstatic structures, like beams, submitted to excessive loads, do not fail completely before fully yielding in more than one cross section. Indeed, for built-in beams, three cross sections must be fully yielded before the final failure can occur. So, modeling the evolution of the cross-section residual stress distribution is an important subject that should be addressed to guarantee the stress analysis modeling correctness. This paper analyses the residual stress distribution evolution, in critical cross sections, of built-in beams during a transversal concentrated load growth, until the final failure through hinges formation. A finite element model is also presented. The results show good matches with the numerical model, used as a reference.
