Description Computes cross sectional area properties of a framing member made up of multiple components (Like a angle iron placed on a piece of plate). Area properties from this sheet can be used to determine flexural stress, average shear stress and deflections. The inputs may seem a bit complicated but they are really easy to obtain and are clearly explained in the template instructions.

Electronic Document Type: Microsoft Excel spreadsheet Cost: $18.00 US funds

Number of Pages: single sheet

Inputs:

	overall depth of framing member (for all components combined)
	location of assumed neutral axis ANA (perpendicular to loading direction)
	for each beam component the following is required: description, cross section dimensions, distance to centroid from ANA, radius of gyration (Option One - Area Property Tables not used)
	for each beam component the following is required: description, cross sectional area, distance to centroid from ANA, moment of inertia about own centroid (Option Two - Area Property Tables used)

Outputs:

	total cross sectional area
	distance from cross sectional area centroid to the ANA
	moment of inertia of framing member in direction of loading
	section modulus of framing member in direction of loading
