   The shear centre for an angle section is located ______.

   1. at the tip of the flange
   2. at the intersection of flanges
   3. at the centroid of the angle
   4. at the rigidity centre of the angle
   Show answer

   Answer: (2) at the intersection of flanges

   In an angle section the shear flows in both legs act along the leg centre-lines, which meet at the corner, so their resultant passes through that point. Hence the shear centre lies at the intersection of the two flanges (legs), not at the centroid.
