Calculation of the Plastic Section Modulus Using the Computer DOMINIQUE BERNARD BAUER

ABSTRACT

A simple spreadsheet is presented which calculates the plas-tic section modulus of structural members. The method con-sists in dividing the cross section into rectangles and arrang-ing all calculations conveniently into a spreadsheet program. The basic algorithm and the required spreadsheet formulas are given as well as a numerical example.

INTRODUCTION

With the increasing use of the limit states design of steel structures, engineers often have to calculate the plastic bend-ing resistance, Mr, of structural members, which is a function of the plastic modulus, Z, of the cross section, that is,

M=$ZFy (1)

where

yo=K = o.

The cross-sectional area, An, of the nth rectangle is equal to

K = bnhn (3)

where

bn= width of the nth rectangle.

The total area, Atot^ of the cross section is equal to

A.tntni SA. (4)

The vertical distance, f, from the datum line to the neutral axis, which divides the cross section into two portions of equal areas, is determined by noting that if the neutral axis passes through the nth rectangle, we must have

-^ = yAi + bnfin (5)

or

H - l

-5> k=-

( 6 )

where hn positions the neutral axis as shown is Figure 2. The rectangle through which the neutral axis passes is determined from the fact that it is the only one for which

hn > 0 and hn < hn (7)

For all other rectangles, Equation 7 is not verified. Hence, the

vertical distance from the datum line to the neutral axis, Y, is equal to

m - l

(8)

where the subscript m identifies the single rectangle for which Equation 7 is verified. For the other rectangles through which the neutral axis does not pass, the values

?n = ^hi + hn (9)

are meaningless and therefore discarded. The contribution to the plastic modulus, Zn, of each rectan-

gle through which the neutral axis does not pass is equal to

Z=Anabs(5j (10)

where the distance from the neutral axis to the centroid of the nth rectangle,

z = bjii bjhm-nj (12)

2 2

Finally, the plastic modulus of the cross section, Z, is equal to

Z = Zm + JjZn (13) n= 1 toNexceptro

SPREADSHEET FORMULAS

The spreadsheet formulas required for the calculation of the plastic section modulus correspond to Equations 2 to 13 given above. There must be as many sets of formulas, arranged in rows in the spreadsheet, as there are rectangles into which the cross section is divided. Assuming that the cross section to be analyzed is composed of 3 rectangles (see the example be-low), there would be 3 sets of formulas, arranged in 3 rows, say rows 9 to 11 in the spreadsheet. The formulas for the first rectangle, in row 9, would be as shown in Table 1.

Note that the syntax used with the formulas given in Table 1 is that of Microsoft Excel. The formulas can be easily
