Camber & Haunch Control
Estimated Time: 2–3 min | Difficulty: Intermediate

Question
Excessive camber in steel girders most directly increases risk of:

Bearing rupture
Excessive haunch depth
Shear overstress
Fatigue cracking

Explanation

Explanation:
Excessive camber may prevent achieving the target roadway profile, requiring large haunch adjustments. Haunch depths exceeding typical limits (e.g., >75 mm) require careful detailing and may create shrinkage and durability concerns.
