4.2.1.3. CSA S16-24 - Steel Design - Shear

The following equations are used to determin shear of multispan beams.

Contains functions for managing sections specific to CSAo86-19

Note, right now all limits are calculated at once BEFORE the

checkFsBeam(beam: BeamColumnSteelCsa24, Cf: float = 0)

Uses c.l. 13.4.1.1 To calculate the Fs for a W section or HSS. Only strong axis bending is supported

Inputs are in mm and MPa.

Force out is in N.

Parameters

• beam (BeamColumnSteelCsa24) – The beam to check the shear of.

• Cf (float) – The applied compressive load (N).

Returns

Fs – The shear capacity of the beam in N.

Return type

float
