Which risk increases when shear connectors are omitted from a composite steel-concrete beam?

💡 Explanation

When shear connectors are omitted, horizontal shear transfer is impaired because bond resistance is insufficient, allowing slippage at the steel-concrete interface, reducing composite action. Therefore, slippage increases, rather than buckling, fracture or corrosion, which depend on different load paths or environmental conditions.
