Steel Angle Design to EC3

Steel Angle Design to EC3

Steel Angle Design to EC3

(OP)
Hi, can any one help with the following?

I am checking a steel angle in bending to eurocodes however there doesn't appear to be any guidance on angles. The LTB checks seem to only address I sections. I have taken by buckling curve as d as recommended in the code, however, I am unsure on how to obtain my lamda LT. I have found this equation Lamda LT =1/√C1 0.9lamda(z)√βw but this seems to only apply to I or H sections.

Can someone please advise or send me in the right direction of a good worked example.

Thanks

Thanks ishvaaag.

I now had to check an angle for torsion but can't find anything in the code on this either. I have found some research papers on the subject but they are from America and Austrialia so not sure if I can use them. Do you know of any documents that might be able to help me.

Thanks
