Explanation:

Shear span

  • It is the span between the points of application of concentrated load to its adjacent Reaction force in a beam.
  • If a simply–supported beam of span L carries a moment force at its mid-span, then the shear force diagram will be rectangular, and the bending moment diagram will be triangular.

  • Throughout Shear Span the Shear Force is constant.
  • There might be multiple shear spans for a single beam depending upon the number and position of applied force to the numbers of supports.
