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.

Plastic modulus, Sx14,255,229 mm³
Plastic modulus, Sy7,129,759 mm³
Radius of gyration, rx184.6 mm
Radius of gyration, ry110.4 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.
