TABLE 3.2 Shear Lag Factors for Connections to Tension Members
Description of Element
All tension members where the tension
load is transmitted directly to each of the
cross-sectional elements by fasteners or
welds (except as in Cases 4,5 and 6).
Case
Shear Lag Factor, U
Example
U = 1.0
2
All tension members, except plates and
HSS, where the tension load is transmitted
to some but not all of the cross-sectional
elements by fasteners or longitudinal
welds or by longitudinal welds in
combination with transverse welds.
(Alternatively, for W, M, S and HP, Case 7
may be used. For angles, Case 8 may be
used.)
U=1-X//
3
All tension members where the tension
load is transmitted only by transverse
welds to some but not all of the
cross-sectional elements.
U = 1.0
and
A, = area of the directly
connected elements

transmitted by longitudinal welds only.
