Shear capacity (Columns: BS 5950)

The shear check is performed according to BS 5950-1: 2000 clause 4.2.3. for the absolute value of shear force normal to the x-x axis and normal to the y-y axis, Fvx and Fvy, at the point under consideration.

Shear buckling

When the web slenderness exceeds 70e shear buckling can occur in rolled sections. There are very few standard rolled sections that breach this limit. Tekla Structural Designerwill warn you if this limit is exceeded, but will not carry out any shear buckling checks.
