Design shear at wood beam taken 'd' from support?
Design shear at wood beam taken 'd' from support?
(OP)
Question: Is it acceptable to design a wood beam for the shear at 'd' from support?
I researched this topic, here and elsewhere, but was unable to find a good answer.
This thread (http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=21883) had good explanations for steel and concrete, but wood fell off the topic.
It seems reasonable to me that a wood beam would shear off more vertical than concrete. Whether or not it shears right at the support, I don't see why it would need to go at least 45 degrees.
