it's fairly simple. The shear strength of the material must be known. Steel is normally 44000 psi in single shear and 88000 psi in double shear. The cross-sectional area of the nail times the shear strength will give you the point of failure of the nail itself, or maximum destructive load. s x a = l
Example: an 8d common nail has a diameter of 0.131 inches and a shear strength of 45000 psi the destructive load capacity of the nail in single shear is:
45000 psi x (0.131" x 0.131" x 0.78539) = 606.513 pounds of force. Divide this number by the required factor of safety to get the maximum design capacity for your structure. [ often f.s. = 3, 4, or 5]
* cross-sectional area = diameter squared times 1/4 pi
note: shear strengths of nails often exceed the crush strength of the material in which they are used.

What is shear strength of a twelve penny nail?
650 foot/pounds
What is the Shear strength of a sixteen penny nail?
1636 ft pounds
How did shear force varies when applying increase load at same point?
In direct proportion to the load applied.
Where does pure shear apply?
Pure shear applies when you twist something (torsion) or under direct lateral load with no bending, as in a pin
Which is better Compression load cell or double ended shear beam load cell?
Dear actually it depend on its application. Where do you want to use them.. Compression Load Cell is considered as one of the best and long performance load cell. and Double Ended shear beam load cell is widely known for its smooth operations.

Only for shear load applications.
The difference between shear force diagram and shear force influence line diagram?
A shear force diagram is used to give the value of shear force at any point on the beam due to static load while the influence line gives the effect of a moving load at any point on the beam. Abdul Nafay Achakzai
What is a shearing force?
Shear force is a load (pounds, or newtons) in plane of the object which produces shear stress ( pounds per sq inch, or Pascals). Shear force is related to shear stress as STRESS = FORCE/AREA

How do you draw shear force and bending moment diagram for frames and arches?
There are two ways to draw the shear and moment diagrams. First is by writing the shear and moment equations and the other which is more rapid is by using the relationship between load, shear, and moment. For any of the two methods, the first step is to find the reactions at the support(s).Shear and moment diagram by writing the shear and moment equationsCut the beam in every segment where there is a change of load. Draw the free body diagram to the left of each exploratory section. Write the shear and moment equations and with these equations, you can easily draw the shear and moment diagrams. For examples and the detailed step by step step instruction on how to do this can be found by the link below:Using the relationship of load, shear, and momentDrawing the shear and moment diagrams by using the relationship between load, shear, and moment is more rapid than writing the shear and moment equations. The relationship are as follows:The slope of shear = LoadSlope of Moment = ShearArea of load = shear of a segmentArea of shear = moment of a segmentFor more in depth discussion of this subject with illustrations and solved problems, consider to visit the link provided below:
Which is stronger a nail or a screw?
A screw will have more holding force. As far as shear force, a screw is made from harder material and will break where a nail will bend.
Where will you find the maximum shear stress in a beam?
The maximum stress occurs where shear load is maximum and maximum stress is at the center of the beam cross section if loaded in shear due to bending. It drops to zero at the top and bottom surfaces. The average stress is load divided by area ; maximum stress is dependent on shape of cross section and is 1.5 times load divided by area at the cross section center for rectangular cross section. For shear due to twist, max shear stress in the outer surface.
