Shear Capacity for Flexural Members Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Shear Capacity = 0.58*Yield Strength of Steel*Depth of Cross Section*Breadth of Web*Shear Buckling Coefficient C
V_u = 0.58*f_y*d*bw*C
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Shear Capacity - (Measured in Newton) - 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.
Yield Strength of Steel - (Measured in Pascal) - Yield strength of steel is the level of stress that corresponds to the yield point.
Depth of Cross Section - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Cross Section (Height), in (mm) defines the geometrical measure from head to foot or from base to top of the section considered.
Breadth of Web - (Measured in Meter) - Breadth of Web (bw) is the effective width of the member for flanged section.
Shear Buckling Coefficient C - Shear buckling coefficient C is geometrical constant depends on h/tw ratio.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Yield Strength of Steel: 250 Megapascal --> 250000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Depth of Cross Section: 200 Millimeter --> 0.2 Meter (Check conversion here)
Breadth of Web: 300 Millimeter --> 0.3 Meter (Check conversion here)
Shear Buckling Coefficient C: 0.9 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_u = 0.58*f_y*d*bw*C --> 0.58*250000000*0.2*0.3*0.9

Evaluating ... ...

V_u = 7830000

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

7830000 Newton -->7830 Kilonewton (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

7830 Kilonewton <-- Shear Capacity
