Warping Constant
(OP)
Can anyone explain what the warping constant Cw is and how it is calculated?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

In addition to torsion for wide flange (or other open-sections) significant warping stresses can develop in the extremities (ie the flanges) Cw is a factor that describes how well the flanges resist warping.
While the entire section does technically warp, for I sections the amount the web warps in insignificant compared to the flanges.
