L2×2×5/16 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.

L2×2×5/16 has equal 2 in. legs, 5/16 in. thick.

At 3.92 lb per foot it is one 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 = 0.298 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 0.414 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 0.537 in³.
