Biaxial bending in equal angles 2

I was wondering whether the provision in ANSI∕AISC 360 allow for biaxial bending in angles.
I haven't seen it mentioned explicitly in Section F10.

I saw this quote ... from Design of Steel Equal Angle Lintels, Research Report No R890, N S Trahair, The University of Sydney.
"The American Institute of Steel Construction’s Specification (AISC, 2005a) provides rules for designing equal angle beams which are bent in the plane of one leg."

I thought I saw it mentioned somewhere that design rules may be based on the author's findings.

In some other papers by the same author I think it mentioned large angle rotations up to π/4 or π/2. For this reason I thought maybe the AISC rules may not apply to biaxial bending in angles. But at the same time loads in the plane of one leg are translated into loads in principal major and minor axis.

Does anyone know for sure?
 
Two short articles for your info use. The third is AISC download link. [link file:///C:/Users/Kai%20PC/Downloads/Biaxial_Bending_of_Steel_Angle_Section%20(1).pdf]Link[/url] Link Link

Thanks for sending.
The only Link that I could view was "Working With Single-Angle Members". It didn't explicitly mention biaxial bending. The reference Single-Angle Design Manual, I have purchased a hard-copy but it does not mention anything about biaxial bending, not that I saw anyway.
 
Thanks steveh49, I saw this after posting.
I think this enough for me then.
I didn't refer to AISC 360-16 for long as I was using AISC 360-05 for which the reference Single-Angle Design Manual is based on. Incidentally the only difference I picked up between the codes ... was for the lateral-torsional buckling moment, Me is swapped out for Mcr, the values were similar for the case I looked at.
 
OK thanks.
