To find the moment of inertia of the T-section about its centroidal X-X axis, we will divide the section into two rectangles: the flange and the web.
- Flange (Rectangle 1):
- Width (b1) = 120 mm
- Depth (d1) = 30 mm
- Web (Rectangle 2):
- Width (b2) = 30 mm
- Depth (d2) = 120 mm
Step 1: Calculate the area and centroidal position of each rectangle from the bottom reference axis.
For Rectangle 1 (Flange):
A1=b1×d1=120mm×30mm=3600mm2
The centroid y1 from the bottom of the web is 120mm+230mm=135 mm.
For Rectangle 2 (Web):
A2=b2×d2=30mm×120mm=3600mm2
The centroid y2 from the bottom of the web is 2120mm=60 mm.
Step 2: Calculate the centroid (yˉ) of the entire T-section from the bottom reference axis.
yˉ=A1+A2A1y1+A2y2
yˉ=3600mm2+3600mm2(3600mm2×135mm)+(3600mm2×60mm)
yˉ=7200mm2486000mm3+216000mm3=7200mm2702000mm3=97.5mm
The centroidal X-X axis is 97.5 mm from the bottom of the web.
Step 3: Calculate the moment of inertia of each rectangle about its own centroidal axis (Ixx,c) and the distance from its centroid to the section's centroid (h).
The moment of inertia of a rectangle about its own centroidal X-axis is I=12bd3.
For Rectangle 1 (Flange):
Ixx1,c=12b1d13=12120mm×(30mm)3=12120×27000mm4=270000mm4
h1=∣y1−yˉ∣=∣135mm−97.5mm∣=37.5mm
For Rectangle 2 (Web):
Ixx2,c=12b2d23=1230mm×(120mm)3=1230×1728000mm4=4320000mm4
h2=∣y2−yˉ∣=∣60mm−97.5mm∣=37.5mm
Step 4: Use the parallel axis theorem to find the moment of inertia of each rectangle about the T-section's centroidal X-X axis.
The parallel axis theorem states IXX=Ixx,c+Ah2.
For Rectangle 1 (Flange):
IXX1=Ixx1,c+A1h12=270000mm4+(3600mm2×(37.5mm)2)
IXX1=270000mm4+(3600×1406.25)mm4=270000mm4+5062500mm4=5332500mm4
For Rectangle 2 (Web):
IXX2=Ixx2,c+A2h22=4320000mm4+(3600mm2×(37.5mm)2)
IXX2=4320000mm4+(3600×1406.25)mm4=4320000mm4+5062500mm4=9382500mm4
Step 5: Sum the moments of inertia of the individual parts to get the total moment of inertia of the T-section about its centroidal X-X axis.
IXX=IXX1+IXX2=5332500mm4+9382500mm4=14715000mm4
Expressing this in scientific notation:
IXX=14.715×106mm4=14715×103mm4
The moment of inertia of the T-section about its centroidal X-X axis is 14715×103mm4.
