Hi guys,
I am trying to calculate the section modulus of some channel section. I was going to use the value provided on the data sheet but its confusing me because it has values of section modulus in the X and Y axis. Am i right in assuming that i use section mod value where the load is perpendicular to its axis?
Also how would you calculate this value from scratch. I am familiar with calculating the section modulus of a sections that are symetrical in two axis, but not with those in one.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Amir
