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 ISMC 400 the computed area agrees with the published value to better than 0.01% and Ix to 0.11%. Where a value is also published, the published one above is the one to quote.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Elastic modulus, Zex | 760,830 mm³ |
| Elastic modulus, Zey | 67,222 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Zpx | 900,407 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Zpy | 129,382 mm³ |
| Radius of gyration, rx | 154.4 mm |
| Radius of gyration, ry | 28.2 mm |
Ze is the elastic modulus and Zp the plastic modulus, following IS 800 notation.
