Eccentrically Loaded Single Angles
Eccentrically Loaded Single Angles
(OP)
Table 4-12 (AISC Manual 13th) shows available axial strength for eccentrically loaded single angles.
For example: L4x4x1/4, Grade 36, KL=5ft, Pmax=13.4kips
while Table from Eng. Journal, Second Quarter 1991
(by Wayne Walker) shows Pmax=9.6 kips
Anybody knows why?
Thanks,

The method employed by Sakla is even more tedious (however also more correct and less conservative - hence the increase in strength) than that employed by Walker. Sakla's methods were also rooted in LRFD design. The ASD tables in the 13th edition manual are a soft conversation of the LRFD values (just take the LRFD value, divide by phi of 0.9, and divide by omega =1.67 to get the ASD values in the table).
