21.1 Stresses in Beams Supplemental Examples
Problem: Compute the maximum shear stress that occurs anywhere in the T-beam, whose cross-section is shown. Given: Uniformly-loaded beam. The moment of inertia I = 532 in4. Hint: Maximum shear stress occurs where shear force is maximum and at the neutral axis. 4”
