Matrix

For the input of database cross sections are used parameters measured in meters [m]. For the designation of database cross sections are used values in millimeters [mm].

 

Dimensions [m]

Designation [mm]

Angular profiles:

 

Angular cross section

H hnom / b / t (hnom = h; t = tw = tf)

for tapered section: H hnom / b / t (hB - hE)

 

where:

H - symbol of database Matrix angular profiles

hnom - nominal height [mm]

h - height [mm]

b - width [mm]

t - thickness [mm]

tw - web thickness [mm]

tf - flange thickness [mm]

hB - begin height of tapered section [mm]

hE - end height of tapered section [mm]

Circular solid sections (CSS):

 

CSS cross section

R hnom (hnom = h)

for tapered section: R hnom (hB - hE)

 

where:

R - symbol of database Matrix circular solid sections

hnom - nominal height [mm]

h - height [mm]

hB - begin height of tapered section [mm]

hE - end height of tapered section [mm]

Equal T-section:

 

Equal T cross section

T hnom (hnom = h = b)

for tapered section: T hnom (hB - hE)

 

where:

T - symbol of database Matrix equal T-sections

hnom - nominal height [mm]

h - height [mm]

b - width [mm]

hB - begin height of tapered section [mm]

hE - end height of tapered section [mm]

 

Rectangular solid sections (RSS):

 

RSS cross section

P hnom / b (hnom = h)

for tapered section: P hnom (hB - hE)

 

where:

P - symbol of database Matrix rectangular solid sections

hnom - nominal height [mm]

h - height [mm]

b - width [mm]

hB - begin height of tapered section [mm]

hE - end height of tapered section [mm]

 

Square solid sections (SSS):

 

SSS cross section

V hnom (hnom = h = b)

for tapered section: V hnom (hB - hE)

 

where:

V - symbol of database Matrix square solid sections

hnom - nominal height [mm]

h - height [mm]

b - width [mm]

hB - begin height of tapered section [mm]

hE - end height of tapered section [mm]

Unequal T-sections:

 

Unequal T cross section

T bnom (bnom = b; h = b / 2)

for tapered section: T bnom (hB - hE)

 

where:

T - symbol of database Matrix unequal T-sections

bnom - nominal width [mm]

b - width [mm]

h - height [mm]

hB - begin height of tapered section [mm]

hE - end height of tapered section [mm]
