Where e = distance from the shear center of the beam to centroid of the loading
TEd = Torque (kNm)
Ws = Total loading acting on the centriod of slab panel (kN)

3. The applied torque (TEd) at the far end of the section produces
a shear flow (q) around the perimeter of the box section at the
near end of the diagram. The shear flow is the product of shear
stress and the thickness of the hollow section.
