Mathcad - Puxy - MCD PDF

This document evaluates the flexural and axial capacity of an unequal leg angle section under various loading conditions. It calculates the nominal axial strength as 3.67 tons. It then establishes bending moments about the principal axes and evaluates the nominal flexural strengths for different limit states. An interaction ratio is calculated comparing the applied loads to the section's nominal capacities, and the ratio is found to exceed 1, indicating the section is not adequate for the given loads based on the LRFD specifications.
