11. a)

An I section beam consist of two flanges 200 mm x 25 mm and a web of 300 mm x 12.5 mm. Find the magnitude of maximum shear stress when it is subjected to a shear force of 200 kN and draw the shear stress distribution diagram over the depth of the section. Take Ixx = 292.7 E6 mm4 (or)

b)

An T section beam consist of flange 150 mm x 50 mm and a web of 200 mm x 50 mm. Find the magnitude of maximum shear stress when it is subjected to a shear force of 100 kN and draw the shear stress distribution diagram over the depth of the section.
