Question

Horizontal shear forces and, consequently, horizontal shear stresses are caused in a flexural member at those locations where the internal bending moment is changing along the beam span. The imbalance in the bending stress resultant forces acting on a portion of the cross-section demands an internal horizontal shear force for equilibrium.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

False

Step-by-step explanation:

When the horizontal shear forces act on the surface there is transverse shear stress at a particular point which is equal in magnitude. Pure bending is less common than a non uniform bending because the beam is not in equilibrium.
