Shear center = t * b^2 * h^2/(4 * Ixx)
= 1 * 10^2 * 5^2/(4 * 246).
= 2.54 it is form 1cm thicknes i.e. (e+1).
So e = 2.54 - 1 = 1.54 cm --> Answer.

It is 1.67 from the web center.
So 1.67 - 0.5 = 1.17 from external edge.
Then e = 1.17 cm.
So 1.67 - 0.5 = 1.17 from external edge.
Then e = 1.17 cm.

It should be 1.67 from direct formula.
E = t*h^2*b^2/4Ixx;
Where h and b are c2c distance and t is thickness.
E = t*h^2*b^2/4Ixx;
Where h and b are c2c distance and t is thickness.
