Table 10.3 Shear-centre position <strong>and</strong> warping factor for certain conventional sections<br />

Notes. 1.Refer to Figure 10.12 for section details.<br />

2. For sections C1 <strong>and</strong> Z1 symbol f=Dt/BT.<br />

3. I xx <strong>and</strong> I yy denote inertia of whole section about xx or yy.<br />

4. For section I2 the symbols I 1 <strong>and</strong> I 2 denote the inertias of the individual flanges about yy.<br />

5. xx <strong>and</strong> yy are horizontal <strong>and</strong> vertical axes through G.<br />

where I xx =inertia about major axis Gx, g=distance of shear centre S from<br />

G, <strong>and</strong> �j=summation of the quantity j for the elements on the righth<strong>and</strong><br />

side of the axis of symmetry.<br />

For any given element, j is defined by the following integral (as<br />

given in BS.8118):<br />

in which A denotes area. For a thin rectangular element this becomes:<br />
