← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a steel I-beam experiences excessive shear stress near und reinforced support?
A)Web crippling or buckling occurs✓
B)Flange twisting becomes pronounced
C)Material yielding elevates
D)Torsional stress is evenly negated
💡 Explanation
Web crippling or buckling develops because the _diagonal compression_ exceeds the web's capacity, therefore the web becomes unstable and collapses, rather than flange or material failure, where insufficient reinforcement leads to localized weak points.
