2L12×12×1×1-1/2 double angle

Detailing dimensions and section properties from the AISC Shapes Database, 16th Edition. Values are shown to the nearest 1/16 in. as they appear on a shop drawing.

2L12×12×1×1-1/2 has equal 12 in. legs, 1 in. thick, spaced 1 1/2 in. back to back.

At 156 lb per foot it is one of the 12 2L12×12 sizes, which run from 156 to 210 lb/ft.

For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 73 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 630 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 132 in³.
