 Shear

where:
fv = actual horizontal shear stress
V = maximum shear
Q = moment of area about the neutral axis
I = moment of inertia about the neutral axis
b = width of beam

Fv = 0.40 Fy

 Problem:
Solve for the safe load P on a A36 steel beam W24x55 could carry.
Fb = 0.60 Fy (Steel beam is braced laterally)
Fv = 0.40 Fy
Fy = 248 MPa

0.80 KN/m
