Angle · AISC Shapes Database v15.0 · United States
L5X3X5/8 is a single angle of 23.4 kg/m — AISC Shapes Database v15.0 publishes its section properties (A 2,974 mm², Ix 4,745,038 mm⁴) without the full profile dimensions, and the published values are tabulated below.
Single angles serve as braces, cleats and connection material. An angle bends about tilted principal axes, so the derived principal values below carry their angle.
This series publishes section properties without full profile dimensions, so the shape cannot be drawn to scale.
