How does ideCAD calculate steel members' shear strength according to AISC 360-16?
The shear strength of steel elements is calculated automatically according to AISC 360-16.
Symbols
Fy = Specified minimum yield stress
E = Modulus of elasticity of steel = 29,000 ksi (200 000 MPa)
λr = Limiting width-to-thickness parameter for noncompact element
λp = Limiting width-to-thickness parameter for compact element
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,
