Section Properties of Common Shapes

The document discusses various cross-sectional shapes for beams and how to calculate their centroid, area, moments of inertia, polar moments of inertia, and radius of gyration. It provides the relevant formulas for rectangular, square, tapered, and irregular cross-sections including I-beams, channels, T-beams, and rectangular crosses. The key properties discussed are centroid location, second area moments about the x and y-axes, polar moment about the z-axis, and radii of gyration.
