Probable Maximum Moment

Probable maximum moment at the plastic hinge location
Mpr = Cpr·Ry·Fy·Ze

Mpr = 1.15·1.1·50 ksi·200 in3

Mpr = 12650 kip·in
Mpr Probable maximum moment at the plastic hinge
Cpr Factor to account for peak connection strength (strain hardening) per AISC 358. 
Cpr = (Fy+Fu)/(2Fy) ≤ 1.2
Ry Ratio of expected yield stress to the specified minimum yield stress
Fy Specified minimum yield stress
Ze Effective plastic section modulus of section at the plastic hinge
