long shear failure of beam
long shear failure of beam
(OP)
Hi all,
I went to look at a home (for a separate reason from this beam) and noticed this beam with longitudinal cracking on both sides fairly consistent along the whole length (see pics). It spans approx 17' and is an 8x8.
To me this beam looks to have failed in longitudinal shear, looking for a second opinion on this.

The beams trib width is approx 9' of D+L from the floor above, nothing out of the ordinary.

Check the members for deflection/sag with a stringline and check the section properties.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
