coped beam
(OP)
I am designing a shear connection for steel beams. One beam is coped. Is it required by any code to check web buckling for all coped beams? Is it necessary? I could not find any example in AISC manual. Any quick way to do that? Please help.

Section 9 has a pretty straight forward approach that shouldn't be too time consuming. It will take longer to read through it and understand exactly what they are doing than it will to apply it.
