Lecture 5

This document contains a lecture on the analysis and design of tension members. It discusses: 1) The typical design problem is to select a member with sufficient area to resist loads, while analysis computes the strength and compares it to the load. 2) The two limit states for tension members - yielding of the gross section and tensile rupture of the net section. 3) Examples are provided to calculate the design tensile strength of various steel members under different loading and connection conditions.

Analysis of Tension Members

The typical design problem is to select a member with sufficient cross-


sectional area to resist the loads. A closely related problem is that of
analysis, or review, of a given member, where in the strength is computed
and compared with the load. In general, analysis is a direct procedure, but
design is an iterative process and may require some trial and error.

1. For the limit state of yielding in the gross section (which is intended
to prevent excessive elongation of the member),
𝑃𝑛 = 𝐹𝑦 𝐴𝑔
𝜑𝑡 𝑃𝑛 = 𝜑𝑡 𝐹𝑦 𝐴𝑔 = 𝑑𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑔𝑛 𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑙𝑒 𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ 𝑏𝑦 𝐿𝑅𝐹𝐷 (𝜑𝑡 = 0.9)
𝐴𝑔 = gross area.
𝐹𝑦 – Table 2-4 in AISC Manual
2. For tensile rupture in the net section, as where bolt or rivet holes
are present:
𝑃𝑛 = 𝐹𝑢 𝐴𝑒 = 𝐹𝑢 𝐴𝑛 𝑈
𝜑𝑡 𝑃𝑛 = 𝜑𝑡 𝐹𝑢 𝐴𝑒 = design tensile rupture strength for LRFD (𝜑𝑡 = 0.75).
- For bolted connections:

𝑈 = 1, when the cross-section is fully connected.

𝐹𝑢 – Table 2-4 in AISC Manual
s = stagger or spacing of adjacent holes parallel to loading direction.
g = gage distance transverse to the loading.
𝑥̅ = distance from centroid of connected area to the plane (face) of the
connection,
𝑙 = length of the connection in the direction of loading.

EX7:
Determine if the channel is adequate for the applied tension load shown
in Figure. The channel is ASTM A36 steel and is connected with four 5/8-
in. diameter bolts. The tension member is subjected to service dead and
live loads of 28.5 kips and 25.5 kips, respectively, C8x11.5.
