Elastic Section Modulus of a Tapered I Beam

 

Elastic Section Modulus of a Tapered I Beam formulas

\( C_x \;=\;  \dfrac{ w }{ 2 }  \)

\( C_y \;=\;  \dfrac{ l }{ 2 }  \) 

Symbol English Metric
\( S \) = elastic section modulus \( in^3 \) \( mm^3 \)
\( C \) = distance from centroid \( in \) \( mm \)
\( I \) = moment of inertia \( in^4 \) \( mm^4 \)
