Ideal Shear Stiffness of Stiffening Bracing

Ideal shear stiffness of stiffening bracing

s_{id} = E_{D} \cdot A_{D} \cdot \sin {(α)}^{2} \cdot \cos (α)

s_id	Ideal shear stiffness of stiffening bracing
E_D	5 % quantile of diagonals' modulus of elasticity
A_D	Cross-sectional area of diagonals
α	Angle between diagonals and chords
