Angle Bending Stress
Angle Bending Stress
(OP)
What method should be used to determine the allowable bending stress of an angle (of varying unbraced lengths)? Chapter F of ASD doesn't explicitly say angles and it would seem not very conservative to interchange these bending formulas, as bending of a plate about its strong axis would probably buckle easily.

Seven references are included at the end of the commentary section which, together with the commentary, can further help in understanding the principles that go into the AISC specification.
