h = clear distance between flanges less the fillet at each flange, in. (mm)
V_n = Nominal shear strength, kips (N)
t_w = thickness of web, in. (mm)

In design per share, it is assumed that shear force is completely carried by the web, no interaction between bending and shear occurs, yield stress in shear is,

• The design shear strength =

  Mathinline
  body $$ \normalsize \phi_vV_n $$

• The design shear strength =

  Mathinline
  body $$ \normalsize V_n/\Omega_v $$

The nominal shear strength, V_n, shall be determined depending on the slenderness defined by (h/t_w) according to the limit state of shear yielding and shear buckling.

• If

  Mathinline
  body --uriencoded--$$ \normalsize \lambda_w=\dfrac%7Bh%7D%7Bt_w%7D \le \lambda_%7Bpv%7D=2.24 \sqrt%7B \dfrac%7BE%7D%7BF_y%7D %7D $$

  satisfies, shear yielding controls.

• If

  satisfies, shear buckling controls.
