M I σ y σ σ M Z: max max

This document discusses section moduli and how it relates to the maximum stresses and loads that can be applied to structural members. It provides an example calculation of determining the maximum load of 4 kN that can be applied to a simply supported beam section based on its section modulus, area moment of inertia, and maximum permitted shear stress. The section modulus, Z, is defined as the ratio of the second moment of area, I, to the maximum distance from the neutral axis, y_max. The maximum stress is then calculated as the applied moment, M, divided by the section modulus.

Here, Zt and Zb are called section moduli of the

cross sectional area, and they have dimensions


of length to the third power (ex. mm3). If the
cross section is symmetrical (like rectangular or
square sections), then Zt = Zb = Z, and Z is
called as section modulus. Section modulus is
defined
