Right Angle Beam Cross Section

Calculate beam cross section properties for right angle 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.

The right angle beams are assumed to have equal leg length and leg thickness. Refer to the figures for more details.
