V = shear at a given point in the beam/member (usually

taken from the shear diagram
ȳ = distance of the fiber from the Neutral Axis
A = Area above or below the point of analysis
I = Moment of Inertia
b = base
EXAMPLE
Draw the shearing stress distribution for a rectangular beam
75mm x 200mm which is simply supported on a 10m beam
with a load of 20 KN/m over the entire length.
EXAMPLE
Determine the maximum and minimum shearing stress in the web of
the wide flange section if V=120KN.
