STEEL SECTION PROPERTIES

Elements of Sections of Structural Shapes The section table values on the following pages have been calculated from nominal dimensions. All shapes shown in the tables are available, but not all are stocked. A shape availability list is included in the manual and, for convenience, availability information is noted on the individual uniform load tables.

Notation

A

cross sectional area (in.2 / mm.2)

b

width of section (in. / mm.)

d

depth of section / diameter of rod (in. / mm.)

h

length of angle leg (in. / mm.)

I

moment of inertia (in.4 /mm.4)

od

outside diameter of tube (in. / mm.)

r

radius of gyration (in. / mm.)

S
