TSC Sectional Strength

Calculating nominal strength at sections of members, including (a) through (g):

(a) Flexural strength
(b) Axial strength or combined flexural and axial strength
(c) One-way shear strength
(d) Two-way shear strength
(e) Torsional strength
(f) Bearing
(g) Shear friction

Design strength at a section is calculated by multiplying the material strengths by the reduction factor γ given in TS500.
