Which increased failure risk occurs when improperly torquing bolted end-plate beam to column connections?

💡 Explanation

Increased prying action on the bolts occurs because insufficient torque leads to gaps between the plates invoking bending stresses. Therefore, the connection fails by tension, rather than direct shear, and not achieving designed load capacity.
