Which outcome occurs when torsional load on long I-beams supporting a heavy bridge deck exceeds the critical threshold?

💡 Explanation

Lateral torsional buckling arises because exceeding the beam's torsional capacity introduces instability, causing sudden sideways displacement. Therefore, buckling happens rapidly rather than exhibiting even shear stress or fully inhibited flange deformation as the load concentrates at weak points.
