For a beam with rectangular cross-section, the stress is calculated as follows:
6 =
Where: f: is the stress M: the moment on this section
2 8
L: the span of the beam
W: the distributed per unit length y: distance to the outmost fiber from the centroid (h/2 for rectangular cross section) I: moment of inertia - for rectangular cross section
3 12
b: beam width h: beam depth
The shear stress (q) on web is calculated as follows:
