Design of Horizontal Leg for Steel Angle
Design of Horizontal Leg for Steel Angle
(OP)
When designing the horizontal leg of a shelf angle (hot rolled section) for a line load at the end with the vertical leg bolted to the edge of an RC slab, I would usually design for strength in bending based on the section modulus but could the plastic modulus be used?

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
