Bending of Steel Angle Section Beams
Although steel single angle sections are commonly used as beams to support distributed loads which cause biaxial bending and torsion, their behaviour may be extremely complicated, and the accurate prediction of their strengths very difficult. Further, many design codes do not have any design rules for torsion, while some recommendations are unnecessarily conservative, or are of limited application, or fail to consider some effects which are thought to be important.
This project is a series on the behaviour and design of single angle section steel beams. Two papers have studied the biaxial bending behaviour of restrained beams. A third has studied the lateral buckling of unrestrained beams, a fourth the biaxial bending, a fifth the bending and torsion, and a sixth the biaxial bending and torsion. A seventh considers the design of steel equal angle lintels. A seventh provides a summary.
