Abstract
When the transverse forces acting on the beam do not pass through the shear center of its cross section, the beam will experience torsional stresses in addition to those caused by bending. Beams and girders that are placed on the periphery of the building support floor as well as wall loads. These members will experience stresses due to bending and, in addition, torsion. This chapter is intended to present a brief discussion of the theory of torsion and the use of tables and charts to determine the magnitude of stresses caused by torsion.
