Plastic Section Modulus of a section is the first moment of the cross sectional area about an axis which divides the sectional area into two equal halves. In this paper an attempt has been made to calculate and verify the Zpz values of tapered flange I and C Sections. I-Section has been divided into a total of 13 component areas and C-Section into 7 component areas. The area of each component is calculated and the position of centroid of each component area is identified and used in the calculation of the Plastic Section Modulus of the cross section about Z-Z axis. Eleven I-sections and One C-section Zpz values are found to differ from the values given in the IS 800 : 2007[2] by more than 100 mm3 , i.e., 0.1 cm3 and are reported here. These verifications gain significance due to the fact that, in case of four I-sections, the difference is found to be more than 10000 mm3 , i.e., 10cm3 |
