Properties of
Structural-Steel
Shapes
In the following tables, the properties of a few structural-steel shapes are
presented as an aid to the reader in solving problems in the text. These
tables were compiled from the extensive tables of properties for steel
shapes commonly used in Europe, available online (Ref. 5 - 4).
Notation:
I  moment of inertia
S  section modulus
r  I/
A
 radius of gyration

Notes: 1. Axes 1-1 and 2-2 are centroidal axes parallel to the legs.
2. The distance c is measured from the centroid to the back of the legs.
3. For axes 1-1 and 2-2, the tabulated value of S is the smaller of the two section moduli for those axes.
4. Axes 3-3 and 4-4 are principal centroidal axes.
5. The moment of inertia for axis 3-3, which is the smaller of the two principal moments of inertia, can be found from the
2
equation I33  Ar min
.
6. The moment of inertia for axis 4-4, which is the larger of the two principal moments of inertia, can be found from the
equation I44  I33  I11  I22.
