Web Local Yielding

[logannqueencity]

Is there a rule or a quick check to tell if web local yielding needs to be checked? In my case I am connecting to a column web with an end plate connection, and the web local yielding strength came out to be ten times the required. In general this rarely seems to control my designs.

Table 9-4 in the AISC steel manual tabulates web yielding and web crippling values. R1, R3 and R5 are in kips; and give an easy first estimate of the beam web capacity. Technically it always needs to be checked though.
