Investigation of the shear lag coefficient for welded tension members

<p>Shear lag is a non-uniform distribution of stress resulting when all cross sectional elements are not directly connected. This phenomenon renders the cross section only partially effective in resisting tensile loads. In this investigation, both experimental and analytical studies were condu...
