    This document calculates the structural properties, such as moment of inertia and section modulus, of a steel beam built up from plates and other standard sections. It requires inputs describing the dimensions and properties of the individual plates and sections. The properties of the built-up section, such as its total area, centroid, moment of inertia, and section modulus, are then calculated. These computed properties are important for analyzing the beam's strength and resistance to bending loads.

    CHAPTER 2: Structural Steel Beams

    2.3 Section Properties of Built-Up Steel Sections

    Description

    This document calculates the moment of inertia and section modulus for a steel section that has
    at least one axis of symmetry built-up from plates or from a combination of plates and sections
    with known section properties. Any number of plates or sections may be used.

    Built-up sections are used when reinforcing existing members, as plate girders, and for
    composite steel beams using bottom plates. The application may also be used to calculate
    section properties for nonstandard T sections cut from I-shaped members. The properties of
    fillets or continuous welds may also be included when required. The required input includes
    the overall depth of the built-up section, plate dimensions (in the horizontal and vertical
    directions) and the area and moment of inertia of any sections with known properties making
    up the built-up section, and the dimensions from the centroids of plates or sections to the
    bottom of the built-up section.

    Input
    Notation
    Input Variables

    Enter depth of the built-up section, moments of inertia and areas of individual sections,
    horizontal and vertical dimensions of plates, and distances from the centroids of individual
    plates and sections to the bottom of the built-up section. Moments of inertia, areas, or plate
    dimensions referring to a given section or plate must have the same corresponding subscript
    number.
