Q. Failure by block shear at an end connection of a plate involves :

A
Shear along two planes, tension along two planes
B
Shear along one plane, tension along two planes
C
Shear along two planes, tension along one plane
D
Shear along one plane, tension along one plane
Solution:

Failure by block shear at an end connection of a plate involves :
Shear along two planes, tension along one plane

Block shear is a limit state that should be accounted for during the design of steel tension members. This failure mechanism combines a tensile failure on one plane and a shear failure on a perpendicular plane
