Derived section properties
Integrated from the section's own outline including the root and toe radii, whose arcs are integrated analytically rather than approximated by facets. For 356x368x129 UC the computed area agrees with the published value to 0.01% and Ix to 0.20%. Where a value is also published, the published one above is the one to quote.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Elastic modulus, Zx | 2,259,118 mm³ |
| Elastic modulus, Zy | 792,783 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Sx | 2,474,225 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Sy | 1,198,874 mm³ |
| Radius of gyration, rx | 156.5 mm |
| Radius of gyration, ry | 94.4 mm |
Z is the elastic modulus and S the plastic modulus, following British practice (BS 5950 notation). Under AISC 360 the letters are reversed.
