When checking the combined inplane stresses with lateral load(3.6), there are the four conditions (tension-tension, tension-compression,etc.) and then it says a Von Mises check also applies, Equation 3.6-5. However, the denominators in the unity equation are fcr, not Fy. What does buckling stress have to do with Von Mises?
