A lap joint is always in _____ shear
Options:
Explanation:
A lap joint can be in single shear or double shear, depending on how it is designed:
In a single lap joint, there is only one shear plane, which puts the connection in single shear.
In a double lap joint (where plates are attached on both sides of a central plate), the load is transferred through two shear planes, making it a double shear connection.
Therefore, both A and B are correct depending on the joint configuration.
Answer:
A lap joint is always in Both A and B shear
