 SHEAR STRESSES IN BEAMS

Assumptions:
1.Shear stress is parallel to shear force
2.Uniformly distributed across the width of cross-section
3.Noting that loads act on symmetrical plane of the beam Oxy

BEAMS

Shear formula for general case

Note: Q is the first moment of area for a part of cross-section

that has been isolated out for determine shear stress τ

For rectangle

Compare with average assumption

τavg = V/A
Discrepancy is 50%

Built-up beams
Composite areas
 SHEAR FLOW IN BUILT-UP BEAMS

Nails Shear stresses acting on the connection surfaces

can cut through the nails, bolts, welds
Shear flow acting on an unit length of the beam
f = τb = VQ/I  Shear flow formula
Force acting on 1 nail/bolt: F = f.s  direct shear

 Example 4

Shear flow acting at the joint

f = VQ/I
V is shear force : 10.5 kN
Area to determine first moment Q
Q = y’A’ = 120.180.40 = 864x103 mm3

Developing at 2 faces
For 1 face: f/2
Example 4

Total force acting on 1 nail

Fshear = (f/2)s
For safe condition:
Fshear ≤ F
(f/2)s ≤ 800
Maximum spacing :
smax = 2x800/34.3 = 46.6 mm
