Rectangular Section

 

 

This procedure returns properties of a rectangular section.

 

Inputs

b = width [m, ft]

h =height [m, ft]

 

Outputs

A =area [m^2, ft^2]

I = moment of inertia [m^4, ft^4]

Z = section modulus [m^3, ft^3]

rho = radius of gyration [m, ft]

y_bar = centroidal distance [m, ft]

 

 

Example:  Call MOI_rectangle(b,h: A, I, Z, rho, y_bar)
