Beams fail in many ways; two categories are, stability failures and strength failures. Stability failures usually relate to structural systems, whereas strength failures relate to the members comprising a structure. Of the many ways which a beam can fail, bending is a very common one.

What is the purpose of a dog bone beam?

To reduce the near column beam section stiffness and have lateral flexibility with respect to horizontal seismic loading movements and column beam connections are not overstress. To have a point of designated failure. You are ensuring that if failure happens, it is in the beam and not at the connection. This is necessary to avoid severe building failure that would be impossible for engineers to predict. This way, we can build for where failure will happen and even though the building would be worthless (say after an earthquake), it ensures that it will still stand and allow people to escape.


What is tensile failure?

It is a failure caused by a load in tension; that is, a force that stretches the material. For example, if you pull a beam along its axis and stetch it until it breaks, that is a tensile failure.
