Profile overview for PFC 380x100x54

The PFC 380x100x54 is a structural steel cross-section utilized in commercial construction, industrial framing, and mechanical engineering. Manufactured as a hot rolled section, it complies with EN 10365 dimensional standards, ensuring predictability in detailing and fabrication.Access to its exact geometric and statical properties is essential for 3D modeling and structural verification.

Geometry: This open profile features a total depth (h) of 380 mm and a flange width (b) of 100 mm, supported by a 9.5 mm thick web and 17.5 mm thick flanges. With a cross-sectional area of 6870 mm² and a linear mass of 54 kg/m, the PFC 380x100x54 offers a distinct stiffness-to-weight ratio for both column (axial) and beam applications.

Section properties: For design of bending, the major and minor axis properties dictate the member's structural capacity. The strong-axis moment of inertia (I_y) of 150300000 mm⁴ governs major deflection and serviceability limits. To calculate the ultimate bending resistance, engineers may utilize the strong-axis plastic section modulus of 933400 mm³. For lateral stability and column buckling verifications, the weak-axis moment of inertia (I_z) provides 6430000 mm⁴ of lateral stiffness.

Advanced analysis: For complex load cases, the PFC 380x100x54 provides a y-axis shear area (at strong bending axis) of 3500 mm² for web shear verification and a torsion constant of 456600 mm⁴ for calculating rotational twist under eccentric loading. Additionally, a warping constant of 141800000000 mm⁶ is available for rigorous lateral-torsional buckling (LTB) checks.
