Fy(t1 + c) ~ MCN where:

McN = moment capacity of the beam at the
McN for Single notched beam: notch in the presence of shear
For low shear (i.e. Fy~ 0.75PyN) PyN = shear capacity at the notch
= 0.6 PyAyN
McN = PyZN
AyN = (et+(n-l)p + eb)~
For high shear (i.e. Fy > 0.75P yN) (for single notched beam)
