Maximum Moment Of Equal Leg Angle:

Calculation:

Designer/Checker:

Input:

Metric Units

(Note: All input Metric units are converted to English units for the equations below and then the output English units are converted back to Metric)

From AISC F10:

This calculation applies to equal leg angles bent around a geometric axis.

ASD

LRFD

Max Compression Toe

Max Tension Toe

Laterally unbraced length (L - ft or m)

Steel yield strength (fy - ksi or MPa)

Section modulus of the beam around axis of rotation (S - in^3 or mm^3)

Lateral-torsional buckling modification factor (Cb)*

Width of flange (b - in or mm)

Thickness of flange (t - in or mm)

*Cb can be conservatively taken as 1.00.

Output:

Maximum moment of the beam, Mu =
