How do you calculate shear stress in a beam?

The maximum shear stress is then calculated by: where b = 2 (r_o − r_i) is the effective width of the cross section, I_c = π (r_o⁴ − r_i⁴) / 4 is the centroidal moment of inertia, and A = π (r_o² − r_i²) is the area of the cross section.

What is shear span of beam?

It is the span between the points of application of concentrated load to its adjacent Reaction force in a beam. Note: Throughout Shear Span the Shear Force is constant. There might be multiple shear spans for a single beam depending upon the number and position of applied force to the numbers of supports.
