The transverse load P will produce a shear force V in the positive y direction on a mathematical cut through the beam at point “a”. This shear force is directly responsible for the shear stress τ on ...
Plaster acts as an effective insulating layer for reinforced concrete beams, improving their fire resistance and structural integrity after uncontrolled fires.
