Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Sometimes it is necessary for structural engineers to calculate the section capacity of solid rectangular plate sections such as gusset plates. Currently eurocodedesign only contains standard sections with predefined geometry.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
The inclusion of a class for rectangular solid sections where the height and width of the section are provided. e.g. `RectangularSolidSection(h, b)`
Upon instanstiation the RectangularSolidSection class will, based on the provided height and width, calculate all of the appropriate cross-section properties.
The section should inherit from `SteelSection`
