shear strength

[LP2111]

good morning all,

does asme sec II part D provides any shear strength value or any equation to calculate?

regards

No,

You should use the design code for that.
For example, VIII-1, UG-23(g) gives factor of 0.8 for shear stress.

In UG-23(g), what is meant by "would fail without a reduction of area"? It seems counter-intuitive.

UG-23(g) Maximum shear stress in restricted shear, such as dowel bolts or similar construction in which the shearing member is so restricted that the section under consideration would fail without a reduction of area, shall be limited to 0.80 times the values in Section II, Part D, Subpart 1, Table 1A, Table 1B, or Table 3.
