Hello,
Does anyone known how calculate the effective section modulus for an angle section ? I am using Eurocode, which is not clear in this matter...
I have an 3"x3"x5/16" Angle and SAP2000 gave me Wel,yy=0.707in^4 and Weff,yy=1.746in^4. Also, A=Aeff, i.e., the effective area it takes as the section area. Since that (normally) effective values are lower than geometric values, I am missing something.
Thanks a lot.
