Question

question 1
match the failure tendencies of a simply supported beam with their definitions.
vertical shear choose
bending choose
horizontal shear choose failure through compression and/or tension fiber of the beam slide past each other horizontally dropping between the supports

Explanation:

Vertical Shear is when there is a tendency for one part of the beam to drop between the supports due to vertical - acting forces. Bending occurs when the beam fails through compression and/or tension as different parts of the beam experience different stress states. Horizontal Shear is when the fibers of the beam slide past each other horizontally.

Answer:

Vertical Shear: dropping between the supports
Bending: failure through compression and/or tension
Horizontal Shear: fiber of the beam slide past each other horizontally
