Angle Design for Fixed End?
Angle Design for Fixed End?
(OP)
I'm looking to design a steel angle that can support 50lbs uniformly distributed. It will be fixed at one end and the length would be 1'-6".

] | 50lbs

1'-6"
-/------------/-
This should be pretty easy but I can't remember how to calculate steel angle or even what to design for ie. Ix,Sx ect.
Can anyone help me out.
Thanks
Matt

Angle properties can be calculated using mechanics of materials, just like in school. You can find properties for angles in many texts I expect and in the AISC manual as well.
If your angle is made of cold-formed steel, then you need to be using the NASPEC for cfs. This code is adopted in Canada, the US and Mexico.
This seems like an overly simple question. Given that you don't know how to do this and have no materials either, are you an engineer qualified to do this calculation?

This is an easy question... well I thought it should be. I mainly to beam & column design and haven't done angle design for some time now and I forget.
I thought someone hear could give me a quick solution for a simple question.
I guess I'll have to get into my storage and find my books on it.
Thanks

Design of a single angle for flexure is not as simple as designing a regular beam. It is much more involved, and AISC gives different criteria depending on a number of factors. It is not as straightfoward as giving you one design process.
