Canadian Code S16-14-TEE section bending question

Hello all,

I have a question about a Tee section strong axis bending.
Have 2 load cases, both are simply supported beam and concentrated load in the middle,
One case the load is downward in the middle (stem in tension)
the other case load is upward and in the middle (stem in compression)

I am looking at section 13.6.(e)
My section is WT12x27.5 which is classified as flange 1 web 4
From the code I understand that I need to replace Mp with My for the second case where I have the stem in compression and use the the original formula Mr as it is in the code for the first case but I am not exactly sure.
Can you guys please confirm this or if I am wrong can you please explain where I go wrong?

Thanks in advance.

canwesteng,

I started working on the angle sections and currently checking the bending.
You said there is nothing for bending of angles in the Canadian code, I am looking at section 13.8.3 Member strength and stability, don't you think this section would apply to bending?
 
Canwesteng,

Looking at shear for an angle section, I think clause 13.4.3 applies, would you agree? If yes what is the rational analysis?
