G3Single angles and tees

The nominal shear strength, $V_{n}$, of a single-angle leg or a tee stem is

(G3-1)

where

• $\begin{aligned} C_{v 2} & =\text { web shear buckling strength coefficient, as defined in Section G2.2 with } \\ h / t_{w} & =b / t \text { and } k_{v}=1.2\end{aligned}$
• $b \quad$ = width of the leg resisting the shear force or depth of the tee stem, in. (mm)
• $t \quad$ = thickness of angle leg or tee stem, in. (mm)
