Shear Strength
Consider the behaviour of I-beams in shear
The web completely yield long before the flange begins to yield.
Therefore, yield of the web represents one of the shear limit states.
Take the shear yield stress as 60% of the tensile yield stress, for
the web at failure

G3. Tension Field Action

Tension-field action is the postbuckling development of diagonal
tensile stresses in slender plategirder web panels and
compressive forces in the
transverse stiffeners that border
those panels.
