We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi,

Yes, if the design doesnot allow the stress to exceed yield then you can consider it failed. But, one should look for the spread of the stress - is the spread local or say through section yielding.
