Q: .......... is a type of excessive bearing failure when the bolt hole is near the end of the plate.
  • A. Bearing failure of bolt
  • B. Shear failure of a plate
  • C. Plate splitting of a plate
  • D. Bearing failure of the plate
Correct Answer: Option B - Shear failure of a plate is a type of excessive bearing failure when the bolt hole is near the end of the plate. Plate splitting failure occurs when high-strength bolts are used to connect high-strength plates. It is a combined failure of shear and tension.
B. Shear failure of a plate is a type of excessive bearing failure when the bolt hole is near the end of the plate. Plate splitting failure occurs when high-strength bolts are used to connect high-strength plates. It is a combined failure of shear and tension.
