The nominal shear strength, $V_{n}$ , of a single-angle leg or a tee stem is

V_{n}=0.6 F_{y} b t C_{v 2}

(G3-1)

where

$\begin{aligned} C_{v 2} & =\text { web shear buckling strength coefficient, as defined in Section G2.2 with } \\ h / t_{w} & =b / t \text { and } k_{v}=1.2\end{aligned}$
$b \quad$ = width of the leg resisting the shear force or depth of the tee stem, in. (mm)
$t \quad$ = thickness of angle leg or tee stem, in. (mm)
