Connector Spacing for Double Angles

For Double Angles in compression, the maximum spacing of intermediate connectors such that the requirements of ASD and LRFD Specification E4.2 are met is reported in the View/Update dialogue and the Member Code Check report. The calculation of axial compressive capacity for Double Angles for U.S. codes considers the limit state of flexural-torsional buckling as detailed in ASD and LRFD Specification E3. The calculation of the maximum intermediate connector spacing per ASD and LRFD Specification E4.1 likewise considers flexural-torsional buckling.
