I believe it is I = mk^2 where k is radius of gyration and m is mass.

Basically radius of gyration of a substance is defined as that distance from the axis of rotation from which if equivalent mass that of the substance is kept will have exactly the same moment of inertia about that axis of the substance.
Its diameter is 2R, whatever the mass.
Along the height it is hb^3/48 and along base it is bh^3/36
making the beam more solid by using more material or material with a higher density. Also, you could deflate the air out of it so it has less tendency to rise with hot air currents.
Second moment of area for triangle trough x-axis = (ah3)/36
