2L8×8×9/16×3/4 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.
2L8×8×9/16×3/4 has equal 8 in. legs, 9/16 in. thick, spaced 3/4 in. back to back.
At 59.2 lb per foot it is one of the 21 2L8×8 sizes, which run from 52.8 to 114 lb/ft.
For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 18.7 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 108 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 33.6 in³.
