tf Flange thickness in, mm Flange thickness and flexural/local behaviour
A Cross-sectional area in², mm² Total steel cross-sectional area
Ix Moment of inertia (x) in⁴, mm⁴ Major-axis flexural stiffness
Iy Moment of inertia (y) in⁴, mm⁴ Minor-axis flexural stiffness
Sx Elastic section modulus (x) in³, mm³ Elastic bending property about the x-axis
Sy Elastic section modulus (y) in³, mm³ Elastic bending property about the y-axis
Zx Plastic section modulus (x) in³, mm³ Plastic bending property about the x-axis
Zy Plastic section modulus (y) in³, mm³ Plastic bending property about the y-axis
rx Radius of gyration (x) in, mm Strong-axis radius of gyration
