Using Eq. (15.34),

 

I_{x x}=\frac{b d^{3}}{12}  (15.34)

 

I_{x x}=\frac{b d^{3}}{12}-\frac{\left(b-t_{ w }\right) d_{ w }^{3}}{12}

 

Alternatively, using the parallel axes theorem in conjunction with Eq. (15.34),

 

I_{x x}=2\left[\frac{b t_{ f }^{3}}{12}+b t_{ f }\left(\frac{d_{ w }+t_{ f }}{2}\right)^{2}\right]+\frac{t_{ w } d_{ w }^{3}}{12}

 

The equivalence of these two expressions for I_{x x} is most easily demonstrated by a numerical example. Also, from Eq. (15.35),

 

I_{y y}=\frac{d b^{3}}{12}  (15.35)

 

I_{y y}=2 \frac{t_{ f } b^{3}}{12}+\frac{d_{ w } t_{ w }^{3}}{12}
