Q: Which type of failure is most common in tension members ?
  • A. Shear failure
  • B. Block shear failure
  • C. Torsional failure
  • D. Flexural failure
Correct Answer: Option B - Types of failures– The following modes of failure take place in tension members. • Gross section yielding • Net section rupture • Block shear failure Block shear failure– A block of material is sheared off at the end of members due to the possible use of high bearing strength of steel and high-strength bolts resulting in smaller connection length. Block shear failure is most common in tension members.
