Compression Members

When single angle strut is loaded eccentrically through one of its legs, flexural torsional buckling strength may
be evaluated using equivalent slenderness ratio

k,, k2, k3 are constants depending on end conditions as shown in Table 5.8
L is the unsupported length of the member,
rvv is the radius of gyration about the minor axis,
b1 and b2 are the widths of the two legs of the angle,
t is the thickness of the leg,
ε is the yield stress ratio
