  2. Section modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_modulus

    In solid mechanics and structural engineering, section modulus is a geometric property of a given cross-section used in the design of beams or flexural members.Other geometric properties used in design include: area for tension and shear, radius of gyration for compression, and second moment of area and polar second moment of area for stiffness.

  3. Structural steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_steel

    Many structural steel shapes take the form of an elongated beam having a profile of a specific cross section. Structural steel shapes, sizes, chemical composition, mechanical properties such as strengths, storage practices, etc., are regulated by standards in most industrialized countries.

  4. Section beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_beam

    Section Beams are made of steel and they have a specific lengths and shapes like Ɪ-beam, 'L', C-channel and I flanged beam. These types of section are usually used in steel structures and it is common to connect them with plates of steel.

  5. Torsion constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_constant

    The torsion constant or torsion coefficient is a geometrical property of a bar's cross-section. It is involved in the relationship between angle of twist and applied torque along the axis of the bar, for a homogeneous linear elastic bar. The torsion constant, together with material properties and length, describes a bar's torsional stiffness.

  6. Steel design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_design

    A steel structure is composed of structural members that are made of steel, usually with standard cross-sectional profiles and standards of chemical composition and mechanical properties. The depth of steel beams used in the construction of bridges is usually governed by the maximum moment, and the cross-section is then verified for shear ...

  7. Hollow structural section - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow_structural_section

    In the recent past, HSS was commonly available in mild steel, such as A500 grade B. Today, HSS is commonly available in mild steel, A500 grade C. Other steel grades available for HSS are A847 (weathering steel), A1065 (large sections up to 50 inch sq made with SAW process), and recently approved A1085 (higher strength, tighter tolerances than ...

  8. Flexural modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexural_modulus

    For a 3-point test of a rectangular beam behaving as an isotropic linear material, where w and h are the width and height of the beam, I is the second moment of area of the beam's cross-section, L is the distance between the two outer supports, and d is the deflection due to the load F applied at the middle of the beam, the flexural modulus: [1]

  9. Flexural strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexural_strength

    The flexural strength is stress at failure in bending. It is equal to or slightly larger than the failure stress in tension. Flexural strength, also known as modulus of rupture, or bend strength, or transverse rupture strength is a material property, defined as the stress in a material just before it yields in a flexure test.
