oblique loads


Explanation:
Oblique sounds best of your options. Shear does not sound right.
The reference uses 'oblique' for the loads and 'shear' for the failures.

Example sentence(s):
  • Unintentional oblique loads are to be estimated in accordance with EN 1992.

imperfection loads


Explanation:
When a column in a building is loaded, the column itself is not perfectly straight or perfectly vertical. These imperfections give rise to (mostly horizontal) balancing loads that have to be resisted by other building elements, such as the floors and walls.
