As we can see the average web shear stress ,V/Aw does not differ very much from maximum web stress.This means
that the web carries much of the shear stress than the flange, and will completely yield long before the flanges begin
to yield. Thus yielding of the web represents one of the shear limit states.
Taking 60% of the tensile yield stress as the shear stresses, then
Vn = 0.60FyAwCv (507.2-1) where 0.60 fy is the yield stress of steel
Aw is the shear area of web
Cv – a modifier that account for buckling behavior of web
__ratio of critical web stress to shear yield stress
__ web shear coefficient

1.) A simply supported beam shown is made of W 360 x 134 A36 steel ( Fy=250 MPa), that carries a uniform
dead load thru it span of 6 m. and a concentrated live load P at the midspan.

2.) A W 530 x 66 is used as a propped beam with a span of 6 m. and carries a uniform service load of 32 KN/m,
including its own weight . The beam used is A572 with Fy = 450 MPa.
Properties of W 530 x 66
A= 8,390 mm2 Sx = 1,340 x 103 mm3
d= 526 mm Sy = 104 x 103 mm3
bf = 165 mm ry = 32 mm
tf = 18 mm k = 30.94
tw = 8.89 mm Fy = 450 MPa
3.) Determine the design shear strength of the beam for LRFD.
4.) Determine the allowable shear strength of the beam for ASD.
5.) Determine the safe uniform service live load, in KN/m that the beam could support based
on the design shear strength of the beam.
Solution:
h=d-2k = 526 – 2(30.94 ) = 464.12 mm
