Shear - Horizontal

SettingDescription
Max Vave This represents the maximum average shear force between any two adjacent holes, used in Method 3 for noncomposite and precomposite design.
fv This represents the actual shear stress on the web post, corresponding to the Method indicated.
Controlling fv This represents the worst shear stress, of any of the three methods, on the web post.
Fv This represents the allowable shear stress on the web post.
fv/Fv This represents the ratio of the actual to allowable shear stress on the web post.
Composite Max Vh This represents the maximum horizontal shear in the web post for the composite condition.
