    BSC n5 - Centroid and Second Moment of Area

    Uploaded by

    Livy Trynos
    This class presentation discusses centroids and second moments of area. It aims to define geometric properties of materials, determine centroids of planar shapes, and calculate moments of inertia. Key terms are introduced like centroid, neutral axis, and second moment of area. The process for finding the centroid of a composite shape is outlined as identifying individual shapes, finding each centroid and area, then calculating the total centroid.

    CLASS PRESENTATION: BUILDING AND STRUCTURAL CONSTRUCTION N5

    TOPIC: CENTROIDS AND SECOND MOMENT OF AREA


    By the end of the lesson learners should be able to:
    • Define terms related to geometric properties of materials.
    • Determine the centroid of a planar shape with reference to a
    given axis.
    • Calculate the moment of inertia of a planar shape with reference
    to a given axis.

    CENTRE OF GRAVITY is the point at which the weight or mass of
    an object (which has thickness/volume) acts.
    CENTROID of an area is the point at which the area may be
    considered to be concentrated or where the object is balanced. The
    centroid applies to flat / planar ( lamina) objects with negligible
    thickness.
    NEUTRAL AXIS is simply a line of symmetry that passes through
    the centroid. If an with a particular cross section is used as a beam, a
    plane that passes through the neutral axis experiences neither
    compression nor tension.
    SECOND MOMENT OF AREA (I) is the geometrical measure of
    how a certain shape resists stresses such as bending, twisting or
    rotation. It is also known as moment of inertia.

    • Identify different shapes that make up the compound/
    composite shape.
    • Find the centroids of those individual shapes from the axis of
    interest.
    • Compute the areas of the individual shapes.
    • Calculate the first moment of area of each shape from a given
    reference.
    • Centroid is the summation of first moment of area divided by
    the sum of areas.
    • Tabulate your answers
