Question: Example # 7 - Shear Stress An 8 - in 1 2 - in timber member is subjected to a vertical load inducing a maximum

Example #7-Shear Stress
An 8-in 12-in timber member is subjected to a vertical load inducing a maximum shear-force of 7,000lb. Calculate the maximum shear stress at the neutral axis.
Step 1: Calculate the shear force V
Step 2: Calculate the statical moment of area Q
Step 3: Calculate the moment of inertia I about the neutral axis h=12
Step 4: Find the width b
Step 5: Apply the general shear formula
