L8×6×5/8 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.

L8×6×5/8 has a 8 in. long leg and a 6 in. short leg, 5/8 in. thick.

At 28.5 lb per foot it is one 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 = 9.86 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 54.2 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 17.9 in³.
