About this document
Design of Steel Tension Members by Ace Joker is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This chapter discusses the analysis and design of tension members in steel structures. Tension members experience axial tensile forces and are found in truss members, bracing, and cables. The stress in a tension member is calculated as P/A, where P is the applied load and A is the cross-sectional area. Tension members can fail through yielding of the gross cross-section or fracture of the net cross-section at connections with holes. Design is governed by the lesser capacity of these two limit states. Provis
