Shear Capacity for Girders with Transverse Stiffeners Formula Elements

Variables
Shear Capacity
The shear capacity is the ability to resist forces that cause the material's internal structure to slide against itself. It can be measured in either the vertical or horizontal direction.
Symbol: Vu
Measurement: ForceUnit: kN
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Yield Strength of Steel
Yield strength of steel is the level of stress that corresponds to the yield point.
Symbol: fy
Measurement: StressUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Depth of Cross Section
Depth of Cross Section (Height), in (mm) defines the geometrical measure from head to foot or from base to top of the section considered.
Symbol: d
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Breadth of Web
Breadth of Web (bw) is the effective width of the member for flanged section.
Symbol: bw
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Shear Buckling Coefficient C
Shear buckling coefficient C is geometrical constant depends on h/tw ratio.
Symbol: C
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
