STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Section Modulus = 1/6*Breadth of Rectangular Section*Length of Rectangular Section^2
Z = 1/6*B*L^2
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Section Modulus - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Section Modulus is a geometric property for a given cross-section used in the design of beams or flexural members.
Breadth of Rectangular Section - (Measured in Meter) - Breadth of Rectangular Section is the shortest length.
Length of Rectangular Section - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Rectangular Section is the total distance from one end to other end, length is the longest side of rectangle.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Breadth of Rectangular Section: 650 Millimeter --> 0.65 Meter (Check conversion here)
Length of Rectangular Section: 1500 Millimeter --> 1.5 Meter (Check conversion here)

Length of Rectangular Section given Section Modulus

Go Length of Rectangular Section = sqrt((6*Section Modulus)/Breadth of Rectangular Section)

Breadth of Rectangular Section given Section Modulus

Go Breadth of Rectangular Section = (6*Section Modulus)/(Length of Rectangular Section^2)

Section Modulus for Rectangular Section

Go Section Modulus = 1/6*Breadth of Rectangular Section*Length of Rectangular Section^2

Length of Rectangular Section using Distance of Outermost Layer from Neutral Layer

Go Length of Rectangular Section = 2*Distance b/w Outermost and Neutral Layer

Distance of Outermost Layer from Neutral Layer for Rectangular Section

Go Distance b/w Outermost and Neutral Layer = Length of Rectangular Section/2

Section Modulus for Rectangular Section Formula

Section Modulus = 1/6*Breadth of Rectangular Section*Length of Rectangular Section^2
Z = 1/6*B*L^2

What is the difference between elastic and plastic section modulus?

The elastic section modulus assumes the section remains elastic. The plastic section modulus assumes the entire section yields. Elastic modulus is the steel modulus based on the stress strain curve before yielding.
