The following beam sections are subjected to bending with load acting from the top. (i) Rectangular beam (width b = 300 mm and depth d = 500 mm) with load acting on top face of width b (ii) a T section (flange 100 mm × 20 mm, and web 130 mm × 20 mm) with flange on top and load acting on the flange face. The intensity of shear stress due to bending will be maximum for the sections as :
- AOption (a)
At the top face (d = 0) for the rectangular beam ; at top face of flange for the T section
- BOption (b)
At a distance of 0.25 d from the top face for the rectangular beam ; at a point on the web (within a distance of 65 cm from the bottom end of web) for the T section
- COption (c)
At a distance of 0.5 d from the top face for the rectangular beam ; at a point on the flange (within a distance of 20 mm from the flange top) for the T section
- DOption (d)
At a distance of 0.5 d from the top face for the rectangular beam ; at a point on the web (within a distance of 85 cm from the flange top) for the T section
