2L2×2×3/16×3/8 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.

2L2×2×3/16×3/8 has equal 2 in. legs, 3/16 in. thick, spaced 3/8 in. back to back.

At 4.88 lb per foot it is one 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 = 0.376 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 0.542 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 0.676 in³.
