The document discusses a factor Ubs that is used to determine tension stress in structural elements like beams and gusset plates. Ubs has a value of 1.0 when the tension stress is uniform across the element, and 0.5 when the tension stress is nonuniform, as illustrated in an example in the Specification Commentary.

where Ubs = 1.0 when the tension stress is uniform
(angles, gusset plates, and most coped beams) and Ubs=0.5 when the tension stress is nonuniform. A nonuniform case is illustrated in the Commentary to the Specification
