Section Properties Calculator

This document provides information on the cross-section properties of a sample box girder section defined by 11 nodes, including its area, centroid, moments of inertia, torsional constant, and properties about its principal axis. It also contains equations and examples for calculating the torsional constants of common beam cross sections like thin-walled boxes, solid squares, rectangles, circles, T-sections, and I-sections. Dimensions, properties, and sample calculations are provided for each cross section type.
