Three rolled steel beam ISWB 300 as shown in the figure are used as built-up sections for columns having Ixx = 9821.6 × 104 mm4 and Iyy = 990 × 104 mm4. The moment of inertia of the combined section Ixx is given as:
Three rolled steel beam ISWB 300 as shown in the figure are used as built-up sections for columns having Ixx = 9821.6 × 104 mm4 and Iyy = 990 × 104 mm4. The moment of inertia of the combined section Ixx is given as: Correct Answer <span style="">206.33 × </span><span style="">10<span style="line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; top: -0.5em; font-size:10.5px;">6</span></span><span style=""> mm</span><span style=" line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; top: -0.5em; font-size:10.5px;">4</span>
Explanation:
Let the I-section be named as I1, I2 and I3 as per the given figure.

The Ixx value of I1 and I3 will lie on same plane/axis for the combined Ixx as shown in the figure.
Similarly, Iyy of I2 will lie on same plan/axis for the combined Ixx as shown in the figure.
Thus combined Ixx for the three rolled steel beam will be:
IXX = (Ixx)1 + (Ixx)3 + (Iyy)2
IXX = (9821.6 × 104 + 9821.6 × 104 + 990 × 104) = 20633.2 × 104 mm4 = 206.33 × 106 mm4.
