Dear Sir/Madam,
In sacs, I have checked the Major axis shear area of " i section " while reviewing the member in postvue, I came to know software is taking only 2/3 of the Two flange areas.
But as per AISC, it should take 2 x flange areas.
If anybody answer to my question means, it will...
CAN ANYBODY TELL ME THE ANSWER FOR FOLLOWING ?
WHICH AREA'S TAKING FOR MAJOR AXIS SHEAR OF I SECTION IN SACS ANALYSIS SOFTWARE ?
WHETHER IS IT TAKING FULL TWO FLANGE AREA'S OF I SECTION ?
YOUR VALUABLE ANSWERS ARE HIGHLY APPRICIATED.
