Section Modulus Calculator
Calculate elastic and plastic section modulus for solid rectangular or I-beam cross-sections.
How to Use the Section Modulus Calculator
- Enter flange width in mm.
- Enter total section depth in mm.
- Enter flange and web thickness (0 for solid rectangle).
- Review Ix, Sx, and Zx values.
Cas d'utilisation
- •Steel I-beam selection
- •Timber beam capacity check
- •Reinforced concrete section analysis
Formule
Solid: Sx = bh²/6, Zx = bh²/4; I-beam computed from flanges and web
