Second Moment of Area About Arbitrary Axis

In some cases, it is necessary to calculate the area moment of inertia of the cross section about an axis parallel to the centroidal one.

In this calculation, a cross-section of arbitrary geometry, sectional area A, and moment of inertia about centroidal axis Ix1 is considered. As a result of calculations, the moment of inertia Ix about any axis X parallel to centroidal axis X1 and located at a distance Y is determined.
