*TRANSVERSE SHEAR STIFFNESS

Data line when used with all other beam sections:

First (and only) line:

1. Value of the shear stiffness of the section.

2. Value of the shear stiffness of the section.

3. Value of the slenderness compensation factor or the label SCF. If this ﬁeld is left blank, a

default value of 0.25is assum ed. If the label SCF is speciﬁed, the values of the shear stiffness

speciﬁed by the user will be ignored. They and the slenderness compensation factor will be

calculated from the elastic material deﬁnition with thebeam section.

If either value is omitted or given as zero, the nonzero value will be used for both when the

label SCF is not used.
