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