Calculation

Inputs



I
:50.00mm4



y
:100.00mm


Output



S
:0.50mm3


S=IyS=\frac{I}{y}

Select from standard AISC sizes



Designation
:S20X75



Sx
:128.0in3



Sy
:9.25in3


Explanation

It is a geometric property for a given cross-section for the design of beams or flexural members and is calculated according to the formula:

S=IyS=\frac{I}{y}

Here are the variables for the equation

  1. 
    
    = elastic section modulus
  2. 
    
    = Second moment of area (or moment of inertia)
  3. 
    
    = Distance from the neutral axis to any given fibre
