Section Modulus for Framing (Metric Units)

Description Computes cross sectional area properties of a framing member made up of multiple components (Like a angle iron placed on a piece of plate).  Area properties from this sheet can be used to determine flexural stress, average shear stress and deflections.  The inputs may seem a bit complicated but they are really easy to obtain and are clearly explained in the template instructions.

Electronic Document Type:  Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet           Cost: $12.50 US funds

Number of Pages: single sheet                        

Inputs:  

bullet

overall depth of framing member (for all components combined)

bullet

location of assumed neutral axis ANA (perpendicular to loading direction)

bullet

for each beam component the following is required: description, cross section dimensions, distance to centroid from ANA, radius of gyration (Option One - Area Property Tables not used)

bullet

for each beam component the following is required: description, cross sectional area, distance to centroid from ANA, moment of inertia about own centroid (Option Two - Area Property Tables used)

Outputs:  

bullet

total cross sectional area

bullet

distance from cross sectional area centroid to the ANA

bullet

moment of inertia of framing member in direction of loading

bullet

section modulus of framing member in direction of loading
