2L3×2×3/16×3/8SLBB 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.
2L3×2×3/16×3/8SLBB has a 3 in. long leg and a 2 in. short leg, 3/16 in. thick, in contact back to back.
It is a double angle set with its short legs back-to-back.
At 6.14 lb per foot it is one of the 30 2L3×2 sizes, which run from 6.14 to 15.4 lb/ft.
For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 0.396 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 0.61 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 0.703 in³.
