L6×6×7/8 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.

L6×6×7/8 has equal 6 in. legs, 7/8 in. thick.

At 33.1 lb per foot it is one of the 9 L6×6 sizes, which run from 12.4 to 37.4 lb/ft.

For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 7.61 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 31.9 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 13.7 in³.
