L4×4×3/4 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.

L4×4×3/4 has equal 4 in. legs, 3/4 in. thick.

At 18.5 lb per foot it is the heaviest of the 7 L4×4 sizes, which run from 6.6 to 18.5 lb/ft.

For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 2.79 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 7.62 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 5.02 in³.
