In which section maximum shear stress position is not at the neutral axis of section?

Nevertheless, the maximum shear stress does not always occur at the neutral axis. For instance, in the case of a cross section having nonparallel sides, such as a triangular section, the maximum value of Q/b (and thus τxy) occurs at mid height, h/2, while the neutral axis is located at a distance h/3 from the base.
