Angle L2x2x3/16 vs L2x2x1/8
Angle L2x2x3/16 vs L2x2x1/8
(OP)
I had specified L2x2x3/16 angle bracing for a very small (12" wide x 12" tall) bracing system. The length of the brace is 13" The shop has fabricated the bracing system with L2x2x1/8. I checked the allowable load and L2x2xx1/8 is still satisfactory to resist the load. My question is the AISC tables do not list L2x2x1/8 and is there any reason for that? Since the calculations satisfy the L2x2x1/8, is there any problem using it?

I am sorry it was TS 2x2x3/16 vs TS 2x2x1/8 (not angle).

If it works, use it.

Side note: if you look at open web joist shop drawings or calcs you'll notice that they often used angle shapes that aren't listed in the manual. They go down to 1/32" increments rather than the 1/16" that you'll find in the book.
