I-beam calculator by Daniel Wedge *** MORE GAMES AND PROGRAMS FOR CASIO CALCULATORS AT *** ******** http://www.student.uwa.edu.au/~wedgey ********* This program will calculate the area moment of inertia about the zz axis (through the centroid as indicated), Izz, and the area of an I-beam given the dimensions of the beam. ______________ _ flange thickness -> |_____ _____| | | | | | | | zz axis ---- web thickness -> | | <- | height ------ zz axis | | | _____| |_____ | flange thickness -> |____________| | <- width -> - Hopefully that is an informative diagram! Note that the height goes all the way from the bottom to the top of the beam, not from inside the flanges.
