Steel StructuresTheory of Structures and DesignHARD
Choose the correct answer
A
only local buckling of outstanding leg
B
tension on one plane and shear on another connected plane
C
pure compression only
D
only weld throat crushing
Correct Answer
B. tension on one plane and shear on another connected plane
Why is this the answer?
Block shear is a combined rupture/yielding mode along a block bounded by tension and shear planes near the connection.
