What is Shear Strength?

Shear strength is the strength of a material or component against the type of yield or structural failure when the material or component fails in shear. A shear load is a force that tends to produce a sliding failure on a material along a plane that is parallel to the direction of the force.

How to Calculate Shear Strength given Submerged Unit Weight?
