2L2-1/2X2X1/4LLBB

Double Angle · AISC Shapes Database v15.0 · United States

2L2-1/2X2X1/4LLBB is a double angle 51 mm deep × 64 mm wide, 6.4 mm thick, weighing 10.8 kg/m. The dimensions below are the published AISC Shapes Database v15.0 values; the drawing is generated from them.

Double angles pair two matching angles back to back — the classic bolted truss chord and web member, tabulated for the pair acting together.

Derived section properties

Integrated from a square-cornered outline — the fillet radii this family really has are not drawn, so the computed values differ slightly from published. For 2L2-1/2X2X1/4LLBB the computed area is 0.70% from published and Ix 0.23%. Where a value is also published, the published one above is the one to quote.

Plastic modulus, Zx22,660 mm³
Plastic modulus, Zy18,691 mm³
Radius of gyration, rx19.9 mm
Radius of gyration, ry20.3 mm

S is the elastic modulus and Z the plastic modulus, following AISC 360. Australian and British practice reverse the letters.
