FAQ

What is the Total Horizontal Shear?
Total Horizontal Shear is the shear force between the maximum positive moment at each end of steel beams or between the point of contra flexure in a continuous beam. Total Horizontal Shear is usually measured using the Kilonewton for Force. Note that the value of Total Horizontal Shear is always negative.
Can the Total Horizontal Shear be negative?
Yes, the Total Horizontal Shear, measured in Force can be negative.
What unit is used to measure Total Horizontal Shear?
Total Horizontal Shear is usually measured using the Kilonewton[kN] for Force. Newton[kN], Exanewton[kN], Meganewton[kN] are the few other units in which Total Horizontal Shear can be measured.
