Diamond Beam Cross Section

Calculate beam cross section properties for solid and hollow diamond beams: cross section area, moment of inertia, polar moment of inertia, mass moment of inertia, plastic modulus, section modulus, shape factor, radius of gyration, EI, EA, EAα, unit mass, total mass, unit weight and specific gravity.

For hollow sections the wall thickness is assumed constant for all four sides. Refer to the figures for more details.
