    The document discusses tension members and their failure modes. Tension members are structural elements subjected to axial tensile forces. They include truss members, cables in suspension bridges, and bracing in structures. There are two failure modes: 1) Yielding on the gross area, and 2) Localized fracture on the net area. The document provides equations to calculate the nominal strength, allowable strength, and design strength of tension members based on the two failure modes and design methods (ASD and LRFD). Sample problems are also included to demonstrate how to apply the equations.

    FAILURE MODES OF TENSION MEMBERS


    AND ITS CONNECTION
    A. YIELDING ON GROSS AREA
    For TENSILE yielding on the Gross Area:
    Pn = Fy (Ag)

    ➢ Allowable Stress Design (ASD)


    Pa = Pn/Wt
    Where:
    Ag = gross area of the member in mm2
    Fy = specified minimum yield stress of the type of steel used
    Pn = Nominal strength
    Pa = required strength (applied load)
    W = 1.67
    CE 362 – Principles of Steel Design by: Engr. NTDeguma

    ➢ Load Resistance Factored Design (LRFD)


    Pu = ft Pn

    Where:
    Ag = gross area of the member in mm2
    Fy = specified minimum yield stress of the type of steel used
    Pn = Nominal strength
    Pa = required strength (applied load)
    ft = 0.90
    CE 362 – Principles of Steel Design by: Engr. NTDeguma

    B. LOCALIZED FRACTURE ON THE NET AREA


    For localized fracture on the Net Area:
    Pn = Fu (Ae)
    ➢ Allowable Stress Design (ASD)
    Pa = Pn/Wt
    Ae = U (An) An = Ag - Ah
    Ah = dh (t) (n)
    Where:
    Ag = gross area of the member in mm2
    Fu = specified ultimate steel used
    Pn = Nominal strength
    Pa = required strength (applied load)
    Ah = area of holes n = no. of bolts/rivets
    dh = diameter of holes = db + 3 mm (if not specified in the prob.
    W=2
    CE 362 – Principles of Steel Design by: Engr. NTDeguma

    ➢ Load Resistance Factored Design (LRFD)


    Pu = ft Pn
    Where:
    Ag = gross area of the member in mm2
    Fu = specified ultimate steel used
    Pn = Nominal strength
    Pa = required strength (applied load)
    ft = 0.75
    Gross, Net and Effective Area
    An = Ag - Ah Ah = dh (t) (n)
    An < 0.85 Ag (For splice plates with holes only)

    If not all elements of the tension member are connected to support, a reduction
    factor “U” is therefore used to calculate the effective net area,
    Ae = U (An) Where U is shear lag factor

    SUMMARY :

    A. YIELDING ON GROSS AREA


    ASD LRFD
    Pa = Pn/Wt Wt = 1.67 Pu = fPn ft = 0.90
    Pa = Fy Ag/1.67 Pu = 0.90Pn
    Pa = 0.60FyAg Pu = 0.90FyAg
    B. LOCALIZED FRACTURE ON THE NET AREA
    ASD LRFD
    Pa = Pn/Wt Wt = 2 Pu = fPn ft = 0. 75
    Pa = Fu Ag/2 Pu = 0.75Pn
    Pa = 0.50FuAe Pu = 0.75FuAe
