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 2L8X6X3/4LLBB the computed area is 0.63% from published and Ix 0.12%. Where a value is also published, the published one above is the one to quote.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Elastic modulus, Sx | 382,370 mm³ |
| Elastic modulus, Sy | 300,536 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Zx | 691,713 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Zy | 509,279 mm³ |
| Radius of gyration, rx | 64.2 mm |
| Radius of gyration, ry | 59.8 mm |
S is the elastic modulus and Z the plastic modulus, following AISC 360. Australian and British practice reverse the letters.
