FAQ

What is the Shear Force at Section?
Shear force at section is the algebraic sum of all the vertical forces acting on one side of the section representing the internal force that acts parallel to the cross-section of the beam. Shear Force at Section is usually measured using the Kilonewton for Force. Note that the value of Shear Force at Section is always negative.
Can the Shear Force at Section be negative?
Yes, the Shear Force at Section, measured in Force can be negative.
What unit is used to measure Shear Force at Section?
Shear Force at Section is usually measured using the Kilonewton[kN] for Force. Newton[kN], Exanewton[kN], Meganewton[kN] are the few other units in which Shear Force at Section can be measured.
