The difference between 'with shear connection' and 'without shear connection' for built-up sections

What is the difference between "with shear connection" and "without shear connection" in the case of built-up cross-sections?

Answer:

In the case of the "With shear connection" option, the cross-section stiffness is calculated as a connected cross-section. This means that the thickness t* represents a completely welded cross-section.

In the case of the "Without shear connection" option, two independent cross-sections are calculated.
