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:
Here are the variables for the equation
- = elastic section modulus
- = Second moment of area (or moment of inertia)
- = Distance from the neutral axis to any given fibre
