Pick up the correct statement from the following:
The point of intersection of the bending axis with the cross section of the beam, is called shear centre
For I sections, the shear centre coincides with the centroid of the cross section of the beam
For channels, the shear centre does not concide its centroid
Bending loads should pass through the shear centre to avoid twisting
All the above.
