An open section is built from three walls each \( 100 \) mm long and \( 2 \) mm thick. Its torsion constant is nearest to

  • A.2400 mm^4
  • B.400 mm^4
  • C.1200 mm^4
  • D.800 mm^4

Answer: D

Applying \( J = \tfrac{1}{3}\sum s t^3 \), each wall gives \( 100 \times 8/3 = 267 \) mm\( ^4 \), and three of them total about 800 mm\( ^4 \). Compare that with a closed cell of the same walls, whose effective value would be larger by a factor of many thousands.
