the horizontal (2) direction,
The normal stresses will be discontinuous (Le. jump) at locations where the width
of the cross-section abruptly changes (e.g, at the flange-web interface)
The normal stresses are uniform across the entire cross-section.
The normal stresses vary parabolically in the vertical (y) direction, and linearly in
the horizontal (z) direction.
