 SHEAR CENTRE

• The shear centre is the point through

which if the resultant shear force acts
then member is subjected too Simple
bending without twisting.
• It means a load acting on a beam through
shear centre will produce bending without
torsion or twisting.
• Shear centre is also called centre of
fiexure
 • The shear center is the point through

bending without twisting.
• It means a load acting on a beam through
shear center will produce bending without

• Shear center is also called center of
flexure
Rules to find out shear center
Rule.1) Shear center is always lie on
symmetrical axis. If C/s have more than one
symmetrical axis shear center will be
intersection of both symmetrical axis.
Rule.2) If c/s have two narrow rectangular
strip shear center will be at intersection of
long axis of both the rectangular strip.
