What is Block Shear Failure in tension members? 🤔

This failure mode happens when a block of material tears out due to a combination of shear and tension.

📌 Shear acts along the bolt line
📌 Tension acts across the net section
📌 The material fails as a block gets pulled out

Understanding this is crucial for safe steel connection design.
