French term or phrase: Module d'élasticité du métal des poutres
This is an isolated term in the design calculations ("notes de calcul") on the reinforcement of metal joists with HVB connectors ("Renforcement de poutres métalliques par connecteurs HVB"). Under design assumptions ("hypothèses de calcul"), a list of term can be found: portée de poutre, entr'axe des poutres, type de profilé, etc. Any thoughts on the this term?

agree  chris collister: ModulUS, not module! There is a subtle distinction between YM and Mof E, the former being wholly real, the latter (generally) complex to express internal loss.
