Tensile stress would be parallel to the beam.
Tensile would try to stretch it apart. <----[////////]---->.
Compressive would try to compress it up. ---->[////////]<----
Shear it is.

Should be either tensile or compressive, as they’re forces perpendicular to the object. Shear is parallel to the object.
