What is shear force?

Shear force is a transverse force, one part of the beam exerts on the other part at any cross section. It is equal to the algebraic sum of all the transverse forces (including the reaction) either to the left or to the right of the cross-section. In the case of horizontal beams, shear force is the unbalanced vertical force on the left or right side of the cross section.
