2017 Ce631-Hw5

CE 631 – Advanced Steel Design homework #5 assigned on October 17th, 2017 is due on October 24th. The two-part homework involves 1) finding the distance to the shear center where applied shear does not create torsion, and 2) applying vertical and horizontal shears separately to a channel section, computing shear flow distributions in each element, and using the results to calculate the coordinates of the shear center.

CE 631 Advanced Steel Design Fall 2017 Assigned: 10/17/17

Due: 10/24/17

HOMEWORK #5 (30 Points)

1. Find the distance e to the shear center such that the shear force V does not create any
torsion or twist on the section.
2. For the channel shown in the figure below, separately apply Vx and Vy through the centroid
of the section. For each shear compute and draw to scale the shear flow tt distribution along
each of the elements of the cross-section. On the two separate diagrams (one for Vx and one
for Vy) of shear flow distribution computer the total shear fore in each element of the
corss0section in terms of the applied shear Vx or Vy. Using these computed shear forces
calculate the two coordinates of the shear center.
