Profile overview for UC 356x368x147

The UC 356x368x147 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 360 mm and a flange width (b) of 370 mm, supported by a 12.3 mm thick web and 19.8 mm thick flanges. With a cross-sectional area of 18790 mm² and a linear mass of 147 kg/m, the UC 356x368x147 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 (Iy) of 466400000 mm⁴ governs major deflection and serviceability limits. To calculate the ultimate bending resistance, engineers may utilize the strong-axis plastic section modulus of 2861000 mm³. For lateral stability and column buckling verifications, the weak-axis moment of inertia (Iz) provides 167200000 mm⁴ of lateral stiffness.

Advanced analysis: For complex load cases, the UC 356x368x147 provides a y-axis shear area (at strong bending axis) of 14652 mm² for web shear verification and a torsion constant of 2333000 mm⁴ for calculating rotational twist under eccentric loading. Additionally, a warping constant of 4836000000000 mm⁶ is available for rigorous lateral-torsional buckling (LTB) checks.
