Considerations:
Formula
Shear stress in a beam is related to the internal shear force V acting along the
length of the beam and the geometry of the cross-sectional area. To derive the
shear formula, consider a small element of the beam:
B = width of section
Shown below is a
rectangular beam in
pure bending.
Considering element pp1 n1n
and summing forces in the x
direction along with several
substitutions yields:
04 Shear Stress Formula:
Problem:
Calculate the shear stress at a point 5 cm from the neutral axis of a rectangular
beam with a width of 10 cm and height of 20 cm, subjected to a shear force of
2000 N. Assume the point lies at the top fiber of the section.

For a rectangular cross-section with width bbb and height hhh, the shear stress
distribution can be derived as follows:

Rectangular
Sections
Problem:
A rectangular beam section has a breadth of 150 mm and a height of 300 mm. It is
subjected to a shear force of 50 kN. Calculate the maximum shear stress in the beam.
02 Circular Sections For a solid circular cross-section with radius R :
Problem:
A circular beam of diameter 200 mm is subjected to a
shear force of 30 kN. Calculate the maximum shear
stress.
03 I-Beams and T-Beams For I-beams and T-beams, the shear stress distribution is more complex
due to the varying width of the flange and web:
Problem:
An I-beam with the following dimensions is subjected to a shear force of 100 kN:
Flange width: 200 mm
Flange thickness: 20 mm
Web height: 300 mm
Web thickness: 10 mm
Calculate the maximum shear stress in the web.
04 Composite Sections For composite sections made of different materials, the shear stress
distribution needs to account for the differing material properties:
Problem:
A composite beam consists of a steel plate (100 mm × 20 mm) on top of a
concrete block (300 mm × 200 mm). A shear force of 150 kN is applied.
Determine the shear stress in the steel plate.
