1. A beam has a triangular cross-section, having altitude ”h” and base “b”. If the section is being subjected to a shear force “F”. Calculate the
shear stress at the level of neutral axis in the cross section.
a) 4F/5bh
b) 4F/3bh
c) 8F/3bh
d) 3F/4bh
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: For a triangular section subjected to a shear force, the shear stress at neutral axis is
= 4/3 × average shear stress
= 4/3 × F/A/2 ; A = bh
= 8F/3bh.
2. The maximum shear stress in the rectangular section is ______________ times the average shear stress.
a) 3/4
b) 3/7
c) 5/3
d) 3/2
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: The maximum shear stress occurs at the neutral axis. So, y = 0.
Maximum shear stress = 3/2 × F/bd (• Average shear stress = F/bd ).
= 3/2 × average shear stress.
Answer: b
Explanation: According to Indian Standards 456-2000 The modular ratio (m) = 280/3× cbc, For M20; compressive bearing capacity in
concrete = 7 N/mm2 & tensile strength = 330 N/mm2.
Modular ratio (m) = 280/21 = 13.33.

5/20/23, 10:05 PM Shear Stress Distribution in Various Sections Multiple Choice Questions - Sanfoundry
Answer: d
Explanation: In continuous beam the moments developed at the supports are greater than a moment’s developed at the mid span, show
the maximum bending moment occurs at the supports.
For continuous beams, the maximum shear stress occurs at the planes intersecting the compressive reinforcement and the neutral axis.
Answer: b
Explanation: A cylindrical section having no joint is known as seamless section. Built up section is not that strong as a seamless section of
the same thickness.
6. The efficiency of cylindrical section is the ratio of the strength of joint to the strength of _______________
a) Solid plate
b) Boilerplate
c) Circumferential plate
d) Longitudinal plate
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: The strength of plate or strength of rivet whichever is less is called the strength of joint. The ratio of the strength of joint to the
strength of steel plate is called the efficiency of the cylinder.
7. Calculate the modulus of section for a hollow circular column of external diameter 60 mm and 10 mm thickness.
a) 170 m
b) 190 m
c) 250 m
d) 300 m
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Given data :
D = 60 mm ; t = 10 mm & d = 60 – 2×10 = 40 mm
For hollow circular section, modulus of section( Z ) = 3.14 × D4 – d4 / 32 D.
= 17016.3 mm = 170 m.

8. Determine the modulus of a section for an I section, given the distance from neutral axis is 50 mm and moment of inertia is 2.8×106 mm4.
a) 59m
b) 51m
c) 58m
d) 63m
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: The modulus of section is the ratio of the moment of inertia to the distance of the neutral axis.
Given y = 50 mm
I = 2.8×106 mm4.
& Z = I/y = 2.8×106 / 50
= 57.76 ×103 mm
= 57.7 ~ 58 m.
9. A circular Beam of 0.25 m diameter is subjected to you shear force of 10 kN. Calculate the value of maximum shear stress. [Take area =
176 m2].
a) 0.75 N/mm2
b) 0.58 N/mm2
c) 0.73 N/mm2
d) 0.65 N/mm2
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Given diameter = 0.25 m
Area (A) = 176 m2
Shear Force (F) = 10 kN ~ 10000 N.
For circular cross section the maximum shear stress is equal to 4/3 times of average shear stress
Maximum shear force = 4/3 × F/A
= 4/3 × 10000/176
= 0.75 N/mm2.
10. The maximum shear stress distribution is _____________ percentage more than average shear stress in circular section.
a) 54 %
b) 60 %
c) 33 %
d) 50 %
