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 W14X426 the computed area is 0.21% from published and Ix 0.28%. Where a value is also published, the published one above is the one to quote.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Elastic modulus, Zx | 11,599,441 mm³ |
| Elastic modulus, Zy | 4,645,076 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Sx | 14,255,229 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Sy | 7,129,759 mm³ |
| Radius of gyration, rx | 184.6 mm |
| Radius of gyration, ry | 110.4 mm |
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.
