Why do steel connections fail at the bolt holes? 🤔

This is called Net Section Rupture.

When a tensile load is applied, the effective area reduces due to holes,
and failure occurs through the net section — not the full cross-section.

📌 Load is carried by the reduced area
📌 Stress increases near holes
📌 Final rupture follows the weakest path

This is a critical concept in steel design and structural safety.
