DESIGN OF MEMBERS FOR

SHEAR
BEAMS

Basic Concepts
The shear stress distribution across any section subjected to
bending can be computed using the equation:

where:
fv = vertical and horizontal shearing stress at the point of interest
V = vertical shear force at the section under consideration
Q = first moment, about the neutral axis, of the area of the cross
section
between the point of interest and the top or bottom of the cross
section
I = moment of inertia about the neutral axis
b = width of the cross section at the point of interest
Shearing stress distribution for a W shape

Basic Concepts
The allowable shear stress for rolled and fabricated shapes may be taken as

Fv = 0.6Fy

The effective area in resisting shear is taken as the overall depth times the
web thickness

Av = d tw

Therefore,
Sample problem No.1
Compute the shear capacity of a wide flange section having a flange thickness
of 10 mm, flange width of 200 mm, and web thickness of 20 mm. Distance
from top to bottom of the flange is 300 mm. Fy = 300 MPa

Sample Problem No.2


W 24 x 94 beam is subjected to a shear force of 900 kN.
Properties of W Section:
A = 17870 mm2 d = 616.97 mm
tw= 13.11 mm bf = 230.15 mm
tf = 22.15 mm Ix = 1119.7x106 mm4

1. Compute the shear stress at junction of flange and web.


2. Compute the shear stress at neutral axis.
3. Compute the shear force carried by the flange.
4. Compute the shear force carried by the web.
5. Compute the average shear stress on web.

Allowable Stress Formulation


For the most common case of hot-rolled I shapes with h/tw ≤ 2.24√(E/Fy) ,

Shear is rarely a problem in rolled steel beams; the usual practice is to design
a beam for flexure and then to check it for shear.
Sample Problem No.3
A simply supported beam W 360x134 with a span length of 15 m is laterally
supported at its ends and is subjected to the following service loads:

DL = 6 kN/m (including the weight of the beam)


LL = 15 kN/m
If Fy = 345 MPa, check if the Beam is adequate for Shear.

Properties:
A = 17,100 mm2 h = 290.08 mm
tw = 11.2 mm d = 356 mm

DEFLECTION
Deflection
● In addition to being safe, a structure must be serviceable. A serviceable
structure is one that performs satisfactorily, not causing any discomfort
or perceptions of unsafety for the occupants or users of the structure.
● Deflection is a serviceability limit state, not one of strength, so deflections
should always be computed with service loads.
● The appropriate limit for the maximum deflection depends on the
function of the beam and the likelihood of damage resulting from the
deflection.

Deflection

● The limits shown in Table 5.4 for deflection due to dead load plus live load do not apply to steel
beams, because the dead load deflection is usually compensated for by some means, such as
cambering.
Sample Problem No.4
The beam shown in the Figure must support two concentrated live loads of 80 kN each
at the quarter points. The maximum live load deflection must not exceed L/240. Lateral
support is provided at the ends of the beam. Check if a W310 x 79 section is adequate to
support the given loading.

Check for the Flexure, Shear and Deflection Adequacy.Use A992 steel.
