AISC 370, E4 single angle (stainless steel)

[pperlich]

How do you properly apply section E4 for single angles? For single angles, neither the y-axis nor the x-axis is the axis of symmetry. The w-axis is the axis on symmetry. Should I replace F[sub]ey[/sub] with F[sub]ew[/sub], by using r[sub]w[/sub] and L[sub]cw[/sub]? This approach would be consistent with the User Note concerning channels.

If your are talking AISC, I think E5 would apply?

Yes, AISC 370. E5 requires E3 and E4 sections to be used unless certain conditions are met.

Hey...didn't realized they'd released the new stainless standard. Neat. Sorry - haven't had a need of it yet, so I don't have a copy and I'm not familiar with it. Perhaps somebody else can chime in. So everyone knows: this appears to be AISC 370 Specification for Structural Stainless Steel Buildings, not AISC 360 (the more common structural steel spec).
