For Problems 6.12-1 through 6.12-16, assume that the thickness t is much smaller than other
cross-sectional dimensions, so that t², t³, and so on may be neglected in comparison with t (e.g.,
in the moment of inertia 1). Use centerline dimensions for all derivations and calculations.
SOL Prob. 6.12-1 through 6.12-3. Determine the eccentricity, e, of the shear center, S, of each channel section.
The eccentricity is measured, in each problem, from the centerline of the web, which is taken as the y axis for these
problems.
