G2. Shear strength (Beams: AISC 360)

Shear checks are performed at the point of maximum shear in accordance with Section G2.

Plated beams only

Since built-up (plated) beams allow for asymmetric sections, under minor shear the web shear coefficient, Cv is calculated for each flange separately and Equation G2-1 taken as:

Vn = 0.6 * Fy * (Aw,top * Cv,top + Aw,btm * Cv,btm)
