Abstract

In this paper experimentally verified nonlinear finite element techniques are employed in the study of equal leg single angle beams bent about the geometric axis. From the study of the results of more than 500 finite element models, conservative design equations are formulated. The new equations provide for more accurate designs as compared with the current provisions contained in section 5.2 of the Specification for the Load and Resistance Factor Design of Single-Angle Members, (American Institute of Steel Construction Inc., Chicago, IL, 1994).
