L8×6×1 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.
L8×6×1 has a 8 in. long leg and a 6 in. short leg, 1 in. thick.
At 44.2 lb per foot it is the heaviest of the 7 L8×6 sizes, which run from 20.2 to 44.2 lb/ft.
For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 15.1 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 80.9 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 27.3 in³.
