Extract

When a Beam is subjected to a static transverse load acting through its flexural centre, the resulting deflection may be considered as the combined effect of the deflection due to bending stresses and the deflection due to shear stresses. In a majority of cases, where the span of the beam is large, or where the shear stiffness is large compared with the bending stiffness, the bending component only need be considered. However, for a short beam, the shear deflection can account for a substantial part of the total deflection. This is especially so in the case of a deep I section beam with a thin web, where the bending stiffness is large compared with the shear stiffness.
