In this case, if we compare the section with that of a struc-tural shape known as an angle, the failure occurs in hoth is this class of failures which the ?*!. C. ?>.

There is a second class of failures, however, whichis just as important and must not be allowed to escape attention, 239.

This is shown inFigures 19, 20 and 21.
