A beam of T-section is subjected to a shear force of F. The maximum shear force will occur at the


A. top of the section
B. bottom of the section
C. neutral axis of the section
D. junction of web and flange

• Answer: D
  Shear force is the force in the beam acting perpendicular to its longitudinal (x) axis. For design purposes, the beam's ability to resist shear force is more important than its ability to resist an axial force. Axial force is the force in the beam acting parallel to the longitudinal axis
