Excess Shear in Working Stress Design Formulas

Excess shear is a measure that can be evaluated numerically and that, in principle, can be used in an assessment of the possible magnitude and relative likelihood of seismic activity. And is denoted by V'. Excess Shear is usually measured using the Newton per Square Meter for Pressure. Note that the value of Excess Shear is always positive. Typically, the value of Excess Shear is greater than 0.

FAQ

What is the Excess Shear?

Excess shear is a measure that can be evaluated numerically and that, in principle, can be used in an assessment of the possible magnitude and relative likelihood of seismic activity. Excess Shear is usually measured using the Newton per Square Meter for Pressure. Note that the value of Excess Shear is always positive. Typically, the value of Excess Shear is greater than 0.

Can the Excess Shear be negative?

No, the Excess Shear, measured in Pressure cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Excess Shear?

Excess Shear is usually measured using the Newton per Square Meter[N/m²] for Pressure. Pascal[N/m²], Kilopascal[N/m²], Bar[N/m²] are the few other units in which Excess Shear can be measured.
