Monosymmetry section constant
Monosymmetry section constant
(OP)
I need some help in calculating the monosymmetry constant for a unique cold foremd steel section.
SO far all i can find is the formula for it which involves a rather nasty looking intergration.
If anyone knows much about this or is good at maths, please give me a hand.
Cheers

RE: Monosymmetry section constant
An approx. method is given where the monosymmetry constant for a monosymmetric I-beam is;
β x = 0.9*h*(2*ρ m – 1)*(1-Iy^2/Ix^2)
Where;
ρ m = Iyc/ Iy
And;
Iyc is the section minor axis second moment of area of the compression flange.
And;
h is the distance between the centroids of the compression and tension flanges.
