b = (2*I)/((d^2)/4-y^2)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Thickness of Beam Web - (Measured in Meter) - Thickness of Beam Web is the thickness of the vertical piece that connects the two flanges.
Moment of Inertia of Area of Section - (Measured in Meter⁴) - Moment of Inertia of Area of Section is the second moment of the area of the section about the neutral axis.
Inner Depth of I Section - (Measured in Meter) - Inner Depth of I Section is a measure of distance, the distance between the inner bars of the I-section.
Distance from Neutral Axis - (Measured in Meter) - Distance from Neutral Axis is the distance of the considered layer from the neutral layer.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Moment of Inertia of Area of Section: 0.00168 Meter⁴ --> 0.00168 Meter⁴ No Conversion Required
Inner Depth of I Section: 450 Millimeter --> 0.45 Meter (Check conversion here)
Distance from Neutral Axis: 5 Millimeter --> 0.005 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

b = (2*I)/((d^2)/4-y^2) --> (2*0.00168)/((0.45^2)/4-0.005^2)

Evaluating ... ...

b = 0.066403162055336

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.066403162055336 Meter -->66.403162055336 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

66.403162055336 ≈ 66.40316 Millimeter <-- Thickness of Beam Web
