double T sectional characteristics

Problem statement
Be a double T section, symmetrical on
vertical direction. Calculate the moments of
inertia of this section on vertical and
horizontal axes directions.

Analysis
The section is divided into three rectangles
(upper flange, web and lower flange)
denoted as number 1, 2 and 3. Then the
next must be calculated:
• Area of each rectangle
𝐴𝐴1 = 𝑏𝑏𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 ∗ ℎ𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 ; 𝐴𝐴2 = 𝑏𝑏𝑖𝑖 ∗ ℎ𝑖𝑖 ; 𝐴𝐴3 = 𝑏𝑏𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 ∗ ℎ𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡
• Total area
𝐴𝐴𝑡𝑡 = 𝐴𝐴1 + 𝐴𝐴2 + 𝐴𝐴3

• GUI design
The GUI is composed from (see also the ”Object
Browser” capture):

- title ”Section Characteristics” (text7)

- drawing space (axes1)

- ”Input data” panel (uipanel1) containing

- text1 (”bts”) and edit1 for the value

- text2 (”bi”) and edit2 for the value

- text3 (”bti”) and edit3 for the value

- text4 (”hts”) and edit4 for the value

- text5 (”hi”) and edit5 for the value

- text6 (”hti”) and edit6 for the value

- ”!” panel (uipanel2) containing

- text8 (”messages”) for warnings on data

-”Results” panel (uipanel4) containing

 - text9 (”H=”) and text10 for the value

- text11 (”yg=”) and text12 for the value

- text13 (”Ixg=”) and text14 for the value

- text15 (”Iyg=”) and text16 for the value

- pushbutton1 (”final”) for closing the GUI.

Results
• At the starting point, the GUI shows as
• In the case of wrong or incomplete data, the GUI might look as:

• Next results are shown as examples of use:

The first result is the case for a common double T section, while the second case is used for verifications
purposes (i.e. the section is actually a square with edges lengths equal to 3).

Comments
• Using Graphical User Interfaces, GUIs, makes the product (Matalab script) to be
easier to manipulate and the input data easier to use and change, if needed.
Results are clearly shown and more systematic.
• The drawing inside the GUI presents the physical parameters (input data) – in
this case, the elements of the double T section, the dimensions and the notations
are seen.
• Through the time dedicated for GUI realization, a more friendly computer
program is obtained. This program could be passed for use of Matlab non-
experienced programmers and could be later modified for other purposes.
• Use of GUIs might be proposed for adapting existing, classical Matlab programs
(without GUIs) in order to open them to a larger range of users.
Note the figure included in the GUI
• The initial drawing from the Graphical User Interface (GUI) above was
realized in MS Word (see the file DubT.docx).
• At the end of the above drawing, all the elements of the drawing had been
grouped and its dimensions had been noticed.
• Then, Word’s page dimensions had been reduced (with 0 margins) such a
way that the already created drawing could fill in a square page. Any other
proportions between the page’s dimensions could be chosen. This
proportion should be later respected in the axes1 object of the GUI. – see
the file DubT2.docx.
• The file DubT2.docx is saved in the pdf format (DubT2.pdf).
• The pdf file, DubT2.pdf, is open with (for example) Adobe Reader and the
image is selected.
• Optionally, in Adobe Reader, the figure resolution can be changed (with
zoom) and it is copied (CTRL/C).
• MS Paint (or any other image editor) is open and the image copied from the
pdf file is transferred to it (CTRL/V).
• From Paint the image is saved in a chosen format, for example png – see
the file dt1.png.
