What are the inspections carried out by local authorities while construction?
Basically, shear force is the combination of flexural compression which result as C and tends to form an inclined thrust line known as arch. For example consider a simple strut and tie model. Here it may be technically expected that the shear force is supported by the longitudinal resultant. NαVcoRead more

Shear force is the product of shear stress and area. Thrust line can also affect the stability.
