Moment Of Inertia Of Cracked Section

For moments at or below the cracking moment the moment of inertia is that of the uncracked transformed section iut e ec.

Moment of inertia of cracked section. Cracked moment of inertia. Concept of cracked moment of inertia is applied in case of transformed beams. Area moment of inertia metric units.
