The "Z" of steel structural I beams

Z (Section Modulus) = I/y

where:
I = 2nd moment of inertia wrt the relevant bending axis
y = distance from the neutral axis to the extreme fiber of the beam (ie top or bottom of beam)

If you are looking for more details, kindly visit our website.

There are some sources out there that list Z for various structural shapes. AISC Steel Construction Manual lists Z for all of the ASTM A6 shapes, but I don't know where you can find similar listings for metric shapes.

Yunsheng are exported all over the world and different industries with quality first. Our belief is to provide our customers with more and better high value-added products. Let's create a better future together.

To calculate I from the page you reference, you have several options. First, you can approximate I by calculating I for the web and two flanges about their centroids, then transforming them to the section centroid (Ic = I + Ad^2). Or, vastly easier, is to just draw the section in a 2D Cad program. It can calculate those values for you.
