*TRANSVERSE SHEAR STIFFNESS

1. Value of the shear stiffness of the section in the first direction, $K_{11}^{ts}$.

2. Value of the shear stiffness of the section in the second direction, $K_{22}^{ts}$.

3. Value of the coupling term in the shear stiffness of the section, $K_{12}^{ts}$.

4. Value of the slenderness compensation factor. If this field is left blank, a default value of 0.25 is assumed.

If either value $K_{11}^{ts}$ or $K_{22}^{ts}$ is omitted or given as zero, the nonzero value is used for both.

1. Value of the $K_{23}$ shear stiffness of the section.

2. Value of the $K_{13}$ 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 0.25 is assumed. 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 the beam section.

If either value $K_{\alpha 3}$ is omitted or given as zero, the nonzero value will be used for both when the label SCF is not used.
