2L2×2×1/8 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.

2L2×2×1/8 has equal 2 in. legs, 1/8 in. thick, in contact back to back.

At 3.3 lb per foot it is the lightest of the 15 2L2×2 sizes, which run from 3.3 to 9.4 lb/ft.

For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 0.258 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 0.378 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 0.46 in³.
