Notes: 1. Steel grade C450L0 / C400L0 (for t 6.0 mm fy = 450 MPa and fu = 500 MPa, and for t > 6.0 mm fy = 400 MPa and fu = 450 MPa).
2. With the exception of J, properties are calculated assuming a simplied shape where the bends are eliminated and the section is represented by
straight mid-lines in accordance with Clause 2.1.2.1 of AS/NZS 4600.
3. x is equal to zero for channels.
