WHAT IS SHEAR CENTRE?
The shear centre is that point through which the loads must act if there is to be no
twisting, or torsion.
The shear centre is always located on the axis of symmetry; therefore, if a member has
two axes of symmetry, the shear centre will be the intersection of the two axes.
For Unsymmetrical sections, the location of the shear centre depends on the distribution
of ζxy and ζ xz have a shear centre that is not located on the member

NEED TO FIND SHEAR CENTRE
If a beam is subjected to bending moments and shear force in a plane, other than the
plane of geometry, which passes through the centroid of the section, then bending
moment will be accompanied by twisting.
In order to avoid twisting and cause bending only, the transverse forces must act
through a point which may not coincide with the centroid, but will depend upon the
shape of the section and such a point is termed as shear centre.

PROPERTIES OF SHEAR CENTRE
Traverse force applied on the shear centre does not lead to the torsion in thin
walled beam
Shear centre is the centre of rotation for a section of thin walled beam
subjected to pure shear
Shear centre is a position of shear flow resultant force, if the thin walled beam is
subjected to pure shear.
