Question 7

SSC JE CE 2026• General Engineering

Why does IS 800 consider shear lag as a reduction in strength rather than a serviceability concern?

  1. AOption (a)

    It affects only appearance

  2. BOption (b)

    It causes excessive deflection

  3. COption (c)

    It leads to non-uniform stress distribution reducing effective area
