    Analysis of Tension Members

    Lecture 2
    Last meeting, we were able…

     To determine the corresponding code provisions in


    steel design.
     To determine the types of load to be used in
    structural steel design.
     To define the load and strength factors used in
    the design.
     To explain the advantages of LRFD in steel and
    timber design.
    So now, we will learn…

     the different structural steel elements subject to


    tension.

     To analyze problems about tension members.


    Introduction

    Tension members are axially loaded members stressed


    in tension and are used in steel structures in various
    forms. They are used in trusses as web and chord
    members, hanger and sag rods, diagonal bracing for
    lateral stability, and lap splices such as in a moment
    connections.
    Introduction
     Tension members are found in
     Bridges and Roof Trusses
     Towers
     Bracing Systems
     Cases where they are used as tie rods
     The design of tension members is very simple and
    straightforward.
     No buckling problems are encountered as in case of
    compression members.
    Analysis of Tension Members
    For members subjected to tension, the two basic modes of failure
    are tensile yielding and tensile rupture.
    Tensile yielding occurs when the stress on the gross area of the
    section is large enough to cause excessive deformation.
    The expression for tensile yielding on the gross area is
    Pn = ϕFyAg
    where
    Φ = 0.90,
    Fy = Minimum yield stress, and
    Ag = Gross area of the tension member.
    Analysis of Tension Members
    Tensile rupture occurs when the stress on the effective area of the
    section is large enough to cause the member to fracture, which
    usually occurs across a line of bolts where the tension member is
    weakest.
    The expression for tensile rupture on the effective area is

    Pn = ϕFuAe
    where
    ϕ = 0.75
    Fu = Minimum tensile stress, and
    Ae = Effective area of the tension member.
    Analysis of Tension Members
    The design strength of a tension member is the smaller of the two
    expressions indicated in equations.
    The gross area, Ag, of a tension member is simply the total cross-
    sectional area of the member in question.
    The effective area, Ae, of a tension member is described as
    follows:
    Ae = An*U
    Where: An = Net Area
    U = Shear lag factor
    Note that for a tension member that is connected by welds, the net area
    equals the gross area(i.e., An Ag).
    Analysis of Tension Members
    The net area of a tension member with fasteners that are
    in line is the difference between the gross cross-sectional
    area and the area of the bolt holes:
    An = Ag - Aholes
    Where
    Aholes = n(db + 1⁄8)t
    n = number of bolt holes along the failure plane,
    db = bolt diameter,
    t = material thickness
    Analysis of Tension Members
    Tension members with in-line fasteners

    The actual hole size used in the design calculations will be 1⁄8 in
    (3.175mm) larger than the bolt diameter.
    Analysis of Tension Members

    The shear lag factor (U) accounts for the non-uniform


    stress distribution when some of the elements of a
    tension member are not directly connected, such as a
    single angle or WT member.
    Analysis of Tension Members
    Table 4-1 gives the value for the shear lag factor, U, for
    various connection configurations. With the exception of plates
    and round hollow structural sections (HSS) members with a
    single concentric gusset plate and longitudinal welds, the
    shear lag factor is
    𝑋
    U=1-
    𝐿
    Where: x = Distance from the centroid of the
    connected part to the connection plane
    L = Connection length
