Derived section properties
Integrated from a square-cornered outline — the fillet radii this family really has are not drawn, so the computed values differ slightly from published. For 2L2-1/2X2X1/4SLBB the computed area is 0.70% from published and Ix 0.07%. Where a value is also published, the published one above is the one to quote.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Elastic modulus, Sx | 8,338 mm³ |
| Elastic modulus, Sy | 17,189 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Zx | 14,992 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Zy | 27,397 mm³ |
| Radius of gyration, rx | 15.0 mm |
| Radius of gyration, ry | 28.2 mm |
S is the elastic modulus and Z the plastic modulus, following AISC 360. Australian and British practice reverse the letters.
