The CivilWeb Section Modulus Calculator Rectangle spreadsheet is an easy to use spreadsheet which can be used to calculate all the section properties required for the design of solid rectangular shaped sections. The spreadsheet includes a unique set of design calculators which calculate the design properties for rectangular sections of any size as defined by the user. The spreadsheet can also calculate the design properties for rectangles inclined at any angle. This tool is essential for any designer working with solid rectangular shaped sections. The CivilWeb Section Modulus Calculator Rectangle spreadsheet can be purchased on this page for only £9.99.
Alternatively the full Steel Section Properties Excel Suite includes all the design section information from all standard section shapes and sizes, totalling thousands of different sections. It also includes all our non-standard sized beam section property calculators. Together this powerful suite of spreadsheets includes all the information required for the design of any standard or non-standard steelwork section. This unique collection of design information and calculators is available for only £29.99.

This suite includes all of our steel design spreadsheets and represents an incredible saving of 66%. This suite can also be purchased at the bottom of this page.
Solid Rectangular Shaped Sections
Solid rectangular shaped sections are commonly used in the design of all types of structure. Solid rectangular steel sections include steel plates and bars which are often used in fabricated sections. Fabricated sections can include rectangular sections inclined at any angle, making the CivilWeb Section Modulus Calculator Rectangle spreadsheet even more useful.
Solid rectangular sections are seldom used in larger sections. This is because other sections such as hollow rectangular sections or I shaped sections remove most of the steel material from the centre of the section. The material at the centre of the section is less effective at resisting bending moments because it is close to the neutral axis and therefore does not receive a large lever arm effect.
This lack of a lever arm effect reduces the effectiveness of the material in the centre of the section for resisting bending. For this reason I shaped beams and hollow rectangular units are much more efficient at resisting bending than a solid rectangular section. However solid rectangular sections are still often used. They are commonly used for small or thin sections where removing the central section or creating an I shaped section would not be practical.
