← TechnologyWhich consequence results when shear stress exceeds web design strength in steel I-beams?
A)Buckling of the web occurs✓
B)Tension flange yielding initiates
C)Compression flange fractures propagate
D)Rebar corrosion accelerates rapidly
💡 Explanation
Web buckling occurs because the high shear stress causes a sudden instability, called shear buckling. This is the mechanism causing the web to deform, therefore the web buckles along the compression axis, rather than a flange yielding which deals with bending.
