Problem:

Assignment $15$: Traverse Shear $-1$

Problem:

Determine the maximum shear stress acting in the beam at the section where the internal shear force is maximum and at point B$.$ The beam has an inverted T$-$shape cross$-$section.

The unknown values are given in a separate excel sheet available on Teams.

Important Instructions:

Each student has received unique values for each variable in this question through the excel sheet uploaded on Teams. Please employ these specific figures to solve the problem.

It is strongly recommended that you engage in discussions with your fellow students to explore various solution methods before arriving at the best one.

Ensure your assignment submission consists of a single PDF file.

Timely submission of your assignment is crucial.
