6.9: Shear Centers of Thin Walled Open Sections
- Channel Section
• Shear center S of a channel section
• Shear stresses in a channel vary linearly in the flanges
and parabolically in the web (Fig. b).

• We assume that the beam is bent about the z axis as the
neutral axis
• the first moment of the flange area about the z axis

• The stress τ2 at the top of the web is obtained in a similar
manner but with the thickness equal to the web thickness
instead of the flange thickness:

• The horizontal shear force F1 in either
flange (Fig. c) can be found from the
triangular stress diagrams.

• Thus, the shear force F2, equal to the area of the stress
diagram times the web thickness tw, is

• The three forces acting on the cross section
(Fig. c) have a resultant Vy that intersects the
z axis at the shear center S (Fig. d).
