L2×2×1/8 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.
L2×2×1/8 has equal 2 in. legs, 1/8 in. thick.
At 1.65 lb per foot it is the lightest of the 5 L2×2 sizes, which run from 1.65 to 4.7 lb/ft.
For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 0.129 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 0.189 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 0.23 in³.
