Then

get
a

Finally
we
multiply

obtain
the
resultant

We
could
think
this
resultant
equal
subdivided
on
each
extremity
of
the
half
circumference.
That
means
the
moment
acting
on
each
section
of
the
flange
is:

Therefore,
the
load
condition
on
the
flange
section
is
like
in
Fig.

The Fig. 5 helps us to get finally the rotation of the flange.
