Can Angles be used as beams?
Can Angles be used as beams?
(OP)
I am not sure if Angles can take moment, and therefore
act as beams.
But I have seen angles used as a holder for windows or studs.
Can angles take uniform load (moment) then?
Thanks

How to use the axes of rotation to check the point of yielding stress. Even if I have the point where it will yields, what purpose does it serve? How am I getting a laterally unsupported moment?
RE: Can Angles be used as beams?
By any chance, are you getting an error message in design software relating to an angle? That's what that line sounds like. If so, more detail on what is actually going on would be helpful.

You are not laterally supporting the moment, but the compression flange of the angle that is resisting the moment. Angles are used to resist forces all the time. No worries.

Angles can be used as beams.
Its a little bit more difficult to analyse them because of biaxial stresses because they are not symetrical. Thats why theres Principle axis.
It would be alot easier to look up safe load tables for your region particularly if they are only lightly loaded e.g. used as lintels over windows.

This is the newer AISC spec for single angle design.

Guess I don't worry about angles in torsion too often...

My two cents.
