CHAPTER – 6
(SHEAR STRESSES IN BEAM)
INTRODUCTION
•Shear stresses in beams play a crucial role in determining the stability and strength of the beam
structure. When a load is applied to a beam, it induces both bending and shear stresses.
Shear stress arises from the force parallel to the cross-sectional area of the beam. It's particularly
significant at points where the beam is subjected to transverse loading, such as when a load is applied
perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the beam .
The formula to calculate shear stress (𝜏τ) in a beam at a given point is:
𝜏=𝑉𝑄/Ib​
Where:
•𝑉 is the shear force at the section of interest.
•𝑄 is the first moment of area of the part of the cross-section lying above or below the point where the
shear stress is being calculated.
•𝐼I is the moment of inertia of the whole cross-section about the neutral axis.
•𝑏b is the width of the beam at the point where shear stress is being calculated.
For rectangular beams, 𝑄 can be calculated as 𝑏𝑑244 bd2​, where 𝑏b is the width of the beam and 𝑑d is the
depth of the beam.
Understanding shear stress is crucial in designing beams to ensure they can withstand the applied loads
without failing due to shear. Engineers use this knowledge extensively in structural design and analysis to
ensure the safety and integrity of buildings and other structures.
