compressive bending stress

7 SHEAR STRESS IN BEAMS
SHEAR STRESS
It is a stress caused by shear force that is acting parallel on the surface area of the structure.

7 SHEAR STRESS IN BEAMS

Where:
V = Shear at the specific point
A = Cross Sectional area that lie
above y’
I = inertia of the whole figure
b = with of the cross section.
Q = 1st Moment area A’y’ or (area
above the axis of interest times
distance from neutral axis to
centroid of area)

7 SHEAR STRESS IN BEAM
Problem
The overhanging beam has a cross section of 300mm by 500mm.
1. Compute the max shear stress in beam
2. Compute the shear stress 180mm above N.A of the beam at 3m from A.
