D4.E.6.4 Members Subject to Shear
Factored shear resistance, Vr , developed by the web of flexural member is calculated as:

Fs is evaluated as:
-
For unstiffened webs (Cl. 13.4.1.1.(a) ):
-
when , Fs = 0.66Fy
-
when ,

-
For stiffened webs (i.e., when the STIFF parameter is specified) (Cl. 13.4.1.1(b) ):
-
when , Fs = 0.66Fy
-
when , Fs = Fcri
-
when , Fs = Fcri + ka(0.50Fy - 0.866Fcri)
-
when , Fs = Fcre + ka(0.50Fy - 0.866Fcre)
- Ae
= - shear buckling coefficient:
- when a/h < 1,
- when a/h ≥ 1,
- a/h
= - stiffener aspect ration (i.e., ratio of the distance between stiffeners to web depth)
- Fcri
= - ka
= - aspect coefficient =

For tubular members, the shear resistance, Vr , is calculated as:
