Flexural bending of steel angle section
Flexural bending of steel angle section
(OP)
I am wondering how to determine what the moment resistance is of a L2x2x3/16 with one leg horizontal, in compression, and laterally restrained, with the other leg vertical. I have a uniformly distributed load along a simply supported span. What particular considerations are there with an unsymmetrical section as this?

best to talk to your supervising PE about this one.

I think that your question does have a merit. If an angle is in bending, the resultant tension and compression forces will not act in the same line. Which may mess up the stress distribution a little bit.
If your angle has adequate bracing, I think using .6*Fy will be more appropriate.
