To compute the maximum acceptable tensile service load for a single angle L8x4x1 welded to a gusset plate, we need to use the design strength equation for tension.
The design strength equation for tension is:



where Pn is the design strength in tension, Ag is the gross area of the section, Fu is the ultimate tensile strength of the material, and 0.75 is the safety factor.
