About this document

Properties of Structural Sections Explained by Lei is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document discusses various properties of beam cross-sections including: 1) Centroid - the center of mass of a geometric object of uniform density. The centroid of an area is calculated as the weighted average of the distances of its constituent areas from the reference axes. 2) Moment of inertia - measures the ability of a cross-section to resist bending and twisting. It is calculated with respect to the centroidal axes as well as the principal axes using Mohr
