φNc: Cl. 6.3.3, pin-ended effective length Le = keL, concentric load. Single angles are rarely loaded concentrically. When connected through one leg, design them for combined actions (AS 4100 Section 8); Cl. 8.4.6 covers eccentrically loaded single angles in trusses.
For restraint types, ktklkr and αm, use the lateral restraint calculator.
Instant check only. Effective lengths and moment modification factors must be determined by the designer in accordance with AS 4100 Cl. 4.6, 5.6.3 and 6.3.2. Not a substitute for a qualified engineer: see the disclaimer.
