A rectangular box section is fabricated from 5mm and 20mm thick steel plates as shown in the figure. A vertical shear for of 200kN acts through the centroid of the section.
Verify that the centroid is located as shown and calculate the second moment of area IzZ
What is the maximum shear stress in the section and where does it act?
HINT: Start by considering an open section by taking a cut at the midpoint of the right-hand vertical web
[Ans.2)53.6MPa@y=0mm,z=400mm]
