Critical Evaluation of the Shear Lag Factor Provisions for W-Sections

Abstract: Shear lagging, resulting from non-uniformity of stress distribution around the connection, is one of the most important design considerations in steel construction since it reduces the load capacity of tension members. In this paper, the rationality of the AISC provisions for calculating the shear lag factor (U) for W and WT-sections was assessed. In the current AISC provisions, there is an enormous difference in the calculated value of U using two allowed for W and WT sections; yet the AISC allows using the l… Show more
