1960's Truss analysis-Double angle size
(OP)
Hello,
I'm analyzing a truss from the mid 60's and some of the bracing utilizes double angles that I'm unable to find in the 4th or 14th editions of the steel manual. The angles used are 1.5"x1.5"x.25". I have field verified these dimensions with the plans. Has anyone experienced something similar to this? I'm I just overlooking something? Both manuals seem to stop at 2"x2"x.25". I have attached a pic of the truss in question.
Thanks
Chad

To make sure you are looking at the correct angle (there are three at 1.5 x 1.5), the thickness has to be verified, it is way over in column "BD".
