    Single Angle Factors and When they Apply

    I am having trouble distinguishing when factors to my yielding moment apply during my calculations of a single angle beam. I am analyzing the capacity of an equal leg, compact angle iron using the 14th edition of AISC. Since it is compact, local leg buckling does not apply. Yielding is easy to...
