Choose the correct answer
A
Parabolic
B
Circular
C
Parabolic above the neutral axis and Triangular below the neutral axis
D
Parabolic above the neutral axis and Rectangular below the neutral axis
Correct Answer
D. Parabolic above the neutral axis and Rectangular below the neutral axis
Why is this the answer?
Shear stress is parabolic in the compression (uncracked) zone above the NA and remains constant (rectangular) below the NA down to the tension steel.
