The reinforced concrete beam which has width 25 cm, lever arm 40 cm, shear force 6t/cm2, safe shear stress 5 kg/cm2 and B.M. 24 mt,
is safe in shear
is unsafe in shear
is over safe in shear
needs redesigning.

The Shear force must be given in t only or kg only.

No, Totally wrong, how to share force can be in kg/cm2 or t/cm2?

The maximum shear stress:
q=shear force/(width*lever arm).
=(6*1000)/(25*40),
=6kg/cm2 >5kg/cm2(safe shear stress).
So, it is unsafe.

Very clear it should not be lever arm. It will be depth and given shear stress also shear force.

Suresh said:   9 years ago
Force is given in load per area.

It is unsafe in shear because 6 is greater than 5.

But @Abhishek lever arm is not considered to be effective depth, Lever arm is the distance between the compressive force and the centroid of Ast, so how can we come to a conclusion to this.

Abhishek said:   1 decade ago
Shear force = V/bd.
= 6000/(24)(40).
= 6>5.
So its unsafe.

As the shear force=6t/sq.cm is greater than safe shear stress=5kg/sq.cm, hence unsafe in shear.
