(c)
Q.2 Which point is likely to be the shear centre in the symmetrical angle section shown
below?
a. A
b. B
c. C
d. D
Solution. 2
(b)
Shear centre for a symmetrical angle section is located at the intersection of the
centerlines of its legs, since shear flow at every section is directed along the
centerline of the leg.
