Which consequence results when excessive vibration fatigue degrades the shear connectors in a composite steel-concrete beam bridge?

💡 Explanation

Reduced load transfer efficiency occurs because **shear stud degradation** minimizes the composite action between the steel beam and concrete deck. Therefore, the load is borne disproportionately by the steel, rather than a composite action which would better distribute stress under traffic load.
