Understanding steel connection behavior using a simple ice cream stick analogy 🍦

There are two possible failure modes:

📌 Adhesive Failure → failure at the joint/interface
📌 Stick Failure → failure of the member itself

The key in design is to balance both —
so neither the connection nor the member fails prematurely.

This simple analogy helps visualize complex steel design principles in an intuitive way.
