Unit Weight of Rectangle Hollow Section of BCR 295

Dear Readers,

This is continuation with my earlier posts of hollow sections. You may familiar with square hollow and rectangle hollow sections.

Self would like to share the unit weight of square Hollow Section of BCR 295, and it is a Japan Standard. "BCR" is a registered trademark of the Japan Iron and Steel Federation. This is a cold roll forming rectangular steel tube. BCR 295 means Yield point or Proof Stress Value is 295N / Sq.mm or 60N / mm compared to the STKR400

The Sizes available are 175 X 125 to 600 X 300 mm, Thickness from 6 to 19mm. Unit Weight of RHS is below. Click on picture to enlarge the table.

Properties of ISHB

Dear Readers,

This is continuation with my earlier post unit weight of ISHB, self would like to post the sectional properties of ISHB. My earlier post, Unit weight of ISMB has been one of the popular posts. In the same way, I am expecting this post would be a next popular post and also helpful to all engineers.

Properties of beams are having two parts. One part is Physical dimensions and another part is sectional properties of Beam. Basically dimensional part contains depth and width of section, Thickness of Web and Flange and Root Radius. Where as sectional properties contains Moment of Inertia, Radius of Gyration and Section Modulus. These are useful for design engineers.

Wind Direction

Dear Readers,

This is continuation with my earlier post “Wind Speeds”,. We may notice the direction during weather forecast in media.Now let us discuss about wind directions and the degrees. 

Wind direction is the directions from which the wind is blowing or the direction from which the air is moving. Wind Direction indicates the compass direction from which the wind is blowing. Wind direction is illustrating using degrees from true north (360^o) to record direction.  The compass is divided into 360 degrees around the circle. The North position equals zero, and the degrees increase as you move around the compass clockwise until you reach 360 degrees back at the North position.

From the above picture on the compass below the letter N stands for North, S stands for South, E stands for East, and W stands for West. In order to be more specific, the letters NE are used for Northeast, SE for southeast, SW for Southwest and NW for Northwest. It is further divided NNE & ENE between first quarter. NNE stands for North Northeast and ENE stands for East Northeast. Please refer below table for abbreviation and the degrees.
