This formula uses 7 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.
Clear Distance between Transverse Stiffeners - (Measured in Meter) - Clear Distance between Transverse Stiffeners is the distance is clear span distance between supports.
Cross Section's Height - (Measured in Meter) - Cross section's height is the vertical distance between bottom and top side of 2D section.

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
Clear Distance between Transverse Stiffeners: 5000 Millimeter --> 5 Meter (Check conversion here)
Cross Section's Height: 5000 Millimeter --> 5 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_u = 0.58*f_y*d*bw*(C+((1-C)/((1.15*(1+(a/H)^2)^0.5)))) --> 0.58*250000000*0.2*0.3*(0.9+((1-0.9)/((1.15*(1+(5/5)^2)^0.5))))

Evaluating ... ...

V_u = 8364941.65185417

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

8364941.65185417 Newton -->8364.94165185417 Kilonewton (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

8364.94165185417 ≈ 8364.942 Kilonewton <-- Shear Capacity
