Load Calculations
Shear Force Bending moment is directly proportional to tensile and compressive stresses. Increase in tensile and
Beam Design compressive stresses results in the increase in the bending moment. These stresses also depend on the
second moment of area of the cross section of the element.

Civil Projects Archives What is Shear stress?

Shear stress is defined as the measure of force per unit area. Shear stress occurs in shear plane. There
About Civil Projects Online are many planes possible at any point in a structure which can be defined to measure stress.
