Formulas

Rectangle: I = bh³/12  |  S = bh²/6  |  r = h/√12

Circle: I = πD⁴/64  |  Hollow: I = π(D⁴−d⁴)/64

I-Beam: I = bfH³/12 − (bf−tw)(H−2tf)³/12

📝 Worked Example

Rectangle: b = 100 mm, h = 200 mm.

I = 100 × 200³ / 12 = 66.67 × 10⁶ mm⁴

S = 100 × 200² / 6 = 666.7 × 10³ mm³  |  r = 57.7 mm

I = 66.67 ×10⁶ mm⁴  |  S = 666.7 ×10³ mm³  |  r = 57.7 mm
