Which outcome occurs when differential settlement burdens a cantilevered steel beam beyond rebar’s limit?

💡 Explanation

Excessive stress induced by soil settlement causes the "yielding" mechanism wherein steel experiences plastic deformation leading to increased deflection exceeding safety thresholds, because the steel undergoes permanent changes, therefore irreversible deformation occurs rather than simple elastic behavior.
