Hi Jim and List ,
                           The formula for shear strength is :-
P = A x S. Where P is the total stress in pounds .
                                    A is the cross sectional area in square
inches
                                     S is the permisssible working stress in
Lb/sq "
NOTE . PWS for shear use 4/5 that of permissible stress in tension .

Wish I was really this clever BUT sadly not -- had to look it up in a book .

                    Hope it helps Noel
