COMMENTS

1. The first crack load for both the beams is almost equal.
2. The second beam is more brittle than first beam and ductility is vice versa.
3. Toughness is more for beam 1, as compared to second beam.
4. When the ultimate load carrying capacity is taken into consideration it is more for
beam1, which is less for the second beam
