DISCLAIMER

Geometry — mm

s is inside face to inside face, independent of flange width. TF 400×25, webs 800×8/10, s 290, BF 350×20. Overall d = 845 mm.

Glossary
Ixx, Iyy
Second moments about the centroidal x–x (strong) and y–y (weak) axes. mm⁴.
Z
Elastic modulus I / ymax. σ = M / Z.
s i/i
Inside-face to inside-face between webs. Independent of flange width.
ȳ, yt
Distance from the bottom fibre to the centroid.
