GChapter G Design of members for shear

This chapter addresses webs of singly or doubly symmetric members subjected to shear in the plane of the web, single angles and HSS subjected to shear, and shear in the weak direction of singly or doubly symmetric shapes.

The chapter is organized as follows:

• G1. General Provisions
• G2. I-Shaped Members and Channels
• G3. Single Angles and Tees
• G4. Rectangular HSS, Box Sections, and Other Singly and Doubly Symmetric Members
• G5. Round HSS
• G6. Doubly Symmetric and Singly Symmetric Members Subjected to Minor-Axis Shear
• G7. Beams and Girders with Web Openings

User Note: For cases not included in this chapter, the following sections apply:

• • H3.3 Unsymmetric sections
• • J4.2 Shear strength of connecting elements
• • J10.6 Web panel-zone shear
