What are moment of inertia and its importance in civil engineering?..

Answer / Prem Shankar Sah

Moment of Inertia is a geometrical property that describes an object's resistance to bending or twisting. It is important in civil engineering for calculating the stresses and deflections in beams, columns, and other structural elements. A higher moment of inertia generally leads to increased strength and stability.
