Derived section properties
Integrated from a square-cornered outline: no root radius is published for this standard, and that is material a rolled section really has, so these run slightly below the published values. For L5X3X7/16 the computed area is 0.10% from published and Ix 0.17%. Where a value is also published, the published one above is the one to quote.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Elastic modulus, Zx | 42,281 mm³ |
| Elastic modulus, Zy | 16,721 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Sx | 75,056 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Sy | 30,494 mm³ |
| Radius of gyration, rx | 40.5 mm |
| Radius of gyration, ry | 21.2 mm |
| Principal maximum, Imax (derived) | 3,895,919 mm⁴ |
| Principal minimum, Imin (derived) | 584,018 mm⁴ |
| Principal axis angle, θp | 19.8° |
Z is the elastic modulus and S the plastic modulus, following AS 4100. Under AISC 360 the letters are reversed — S is elastic and Z is plastic.
