First Affected Commercial Version: | 22.08.00.175 | ||
First affected QA&R Version: | 22.10.00.180 | ||
Fixed and Released in Version: | |||
Area: | Steel Design as per CSA S16-09/14/19 | ||
Issue #: | 1037816 |
While designing a UPT ISECTION and UPT WIDE FLANGE profile to CSA S16-09/14/19, the program
ignores the user-provided shear areas and calculates them internally. As a result, the shear capacity and
shear ratio are evaluated based on the program-calculated shear area values and not in accordance with
the user provided ones. This may lead to unconservative results if the program-calculated shear area
values are greater than the user provided values.
The issue occurs when all of the following are true on the design of a given member:
1) the member is assigned with a UPT ISECTION or UPT WIDE FLANGE profile
2) shear areas specified in the upt are less than the program-calculated values for the profiles
3) the member is designed to CSA S16-09/14/19 codes
