Moment of Inertia for rectangular cross section calculator

For a rectangular cross-section with width $b$ and height $h$, the moment of inertia $I$ about an axis perpendicular to the base and passing through the centroid is given by:

where:

• $I$ = Moment of inertia (in meters to the fourth power, m⁴)
• $b$ = Width of the rectangular cross-section (in meters, m)
• $h$ = Height of the rectangular cross-section (in meters, m)
