Verification of shear resistance for built-up cross-sections
Verification of the shear force Vz
If the axis z is perpendicular to the strong axis of the cross-section (this is fulfilled for the most of cases), the shear resistance for the force Vz is calculated in the same way as for solid cross-sections:
Where is: | AV,z |

The final verification is done according to the following expression:
Verification of shear resistance Vy
The force Vy is usually parallel to the strong axis of the cross-section. It means, that the shear resistance depends on the stiffness of battens. This behaviour affects the bending resistance (chapter "Verification of axial resistance for built-up cross-sections"), buckling (the chapter "Verification of buckling resistance of built-up cross-sections") and the verification of battens and lacing (the chapter "Verification of connection in built-up members").
