Connector Spacing for Double Angles

For Double Angles in compression, the maximum spacing of intermediate connectors such that the requirements of CAN/CSA S16-01 Section 19.1.4 are met is now reported in the View/Update dialogue and the Member Code Check report. The calculation of axial compressive capacity for Double Angles for Canadian codes considers the limit state of flexural-torsional buckling as detailed in CAN/CSA S16-01 Appendix D. The calculation of the maximum intermediate connector spacing per CAN/CSA S16-01 Section 19.1.4 likewise considers flexural-torsional buckling.
