Section Modulus and what does it mean to a scaffolding company? Section modulus is a geometric property for a given cross-section used in the design of beams or flexural members. Other geometric properties used in the design including an area for tension and shear, the radius of gyration for compression, and moment of inertia and polar moment of inertia for stiffness. Any relationship between these properties is highly dependent on the shape in question. So, in simple terms think...
