The first step is to mass the section up about. p \Q ft,-—; 1^ ^L^ .- ir i _j /I ?1 1 A IS B \ -^ c- 111 JC «- ^ 11 1 ^ ^ r Fig. 229. a vertical centre line : this is done by drawing horizontal linesacross the joists, and adding on each side of the centre joist thecorresponding horizontal ordinate of the outside joists. Thisgives the section shown in the figure { d = ah -]-hc -{- c d).Consider any line p p. We have shown that the mean shear stress along p p = <s, m Ic^h Now a . y = first moment of area above p p about neutralaxis X X. Draw the first moment curve of the section above x xabout the line x x, as explained on p. 176. As the section issymmetrical about a vertical axis, we need draw the curvefor one half of the area only, x q c being such curve.
