Example 7.18. A built up section is made by needing too stable and two channel sections as shown
in Fig. 7.22.

Fig. 722.
Detennine moment of inertia of a built up section about X-X axis passing through centre of gravity
of the section.
Solution. As the section is symmetrical about X-X axis and Y-Y axis therefore centre of gravity of the
section will coincide witli the geometrical centre of section.
We know that the moment of inertia of one top or bottom plate about an axis through its centre os
gravity and parallel to X-X axis,

/fl|=9 Qx(10)3=75()()|nm4
and distance between centre of gravity of tlic plates from X-X axis,
/»! = 65 - 5 = 60 mm
... Moment of inertia of top anc bottom plates about X-X axis.
=/Gl +a /r = 2 17500 + (90 x 10) x (60)2] mm
(because of two plates)

=6.5 x 106 mm4

Now moment of inertia of part (l)of one channel section about an
axis through its centre of gravity and parallel to X-X axis. /c2 = 30x(10)3 =

... Moment of inertia of part (1) about X-X axis,
=/^ + ๘ A2 = 4 |25(X,+ (30 x 10) x (50)2 mm4 = 3.0x (because of four plates)

Similarly moment of inertia of part (2) of the channel about an axis through its centre of gravity and
parallel to X-X axis.
