Wood Equivalent Properties to Steel Angle

Wood Equivalent Properties to Steel Angle

(OP)
Does anyone has a better approach on calculating a beam that is reinforced with steel angles and thru bolts?  I really can't find any reliable information.  I have a (3) 2x8 beam that needs to be retrofitted for additional loads.  The idea is to use steel angles at each side with thru bolts to take the extra loads.  I found that this done very conservatively but I would like to have a better handle on the calculations involved.  I do know that this calculation involves a flexible versus a rigid material but what code check we need to use?
