The section of a structural member may be subjected to shear force due to flexure, punching or torsion. Accordingly, the shear may be flexural shear, punching shear or torsional shear. Flexural shear: The shear associated with change of bending moment along the span is known as flexural shear. The beams are usually subjected to flexural shear. For beams, the flexural shear is commonly referred as ‘shear’. Punching shear: The shear associated with the possibility of punching a thin member by a concentrated wall load, a beam-less floor slab supported directly…
