    6 Design Tension 20180816 PDF

    This document provides an example of designing a tension member using Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and Allowable Stress Design (ASD). For a member resisting 70 kips of load with a length of 5 feet 9 inches made of A36 steel, both LRFD and ASD require a cross section of 1 inch x 3 1/2 inches. The design process is similar for both methods after determining the required area. This example shows good agreement between LRFD and ASD since the load to dead load ratio is approximately 3.

    For tension members designed by LRFD

    The requirement is

    Pu ≤ φ t Pn or φ t P n ≥ Pu

    To prevent yielding,
    Pu
    0.90Fy Ag ≥ Pu or Ag ≥
    0.90Fy

    To avoid fracture,
    Pu
    0.75Fu Ae ≥ Pu or Ae ≥
    0.75Fu
    For tension members designed by ASD in stress form
    For yielding,

    Pa ≤ Ft Ag

    and the required gross area is


    Pa Pa
    Ag ≥ or Ag ≥
    Ft 0.6Fy

    For the limit state of fracture, the required effective area is


    Pa Pa
    Ae ≥ or Ae ≥
    Ft 0.5Fu
    Example 3.11 of Segui (2013)

    A tension member with a length of 5 feet 9 inches must resist a


    service dead load of 18 kips and a service live load of 52 kips.
    Select a member with a rectangular cross section. Use A36 steel
    and assume a connection with one line of 7/8-inch-diameter bolts.
    LRFD Solution

    Pu = 1.2D + 1.6L = 1.2(18) + 1.6(52) = 104.8 kips


    Pu Pu 104.8
    Required Ag = = = = 3.235 in.2
    φt Fy 0.90Fy 0.90(36)
    Pu Pu 104.8
    Required Ae = = = = 2.409 in.2
    φt Fu 0.75Fu 0.75(58)
    Try t = 1 in.
    required Ag 3.235
    Required wg = = = 3.235 in.
    t 1
    Try a 1 × 3 21 cross section.
    Ae = An = Ag − Ahole
    = (1 × 3.5) − (7/8 + 1/8)(1) = 2.5 in.2 > 2.409 in.2 (OK)

    Check the slenderness ratio:


    3.5(1)3
    Imin = = 0.2917 in.4
    12
    A = 1(3.5) = 3.5 in.2

    From I = Ar2 , we obtain


    r
    Imin L 5.75(12)
    rmin = = 0.2887 in.2 and Maximum = = 239 < 300 (
    A r 0.2887
    ∴ Use a PL 1 × 3 12 .
    ASD Solution

    Pa = D + L = 18 + 52 = 70.0 kips

    For yielding, Ft = 0.6Fy = 0.6(36) = 21.6 ksi, and

    Pa 70
    Required Ag = = = 3.24 in.2
    Ft 21.6
    For fracture, Ft = 0.5Fu = 0.5(58) = 29.0 ksi, and
    Pa 70
    Required Ae = = = 2.414 in.2
    Ft 29.0
    (The rest of the design procedure is the same as for LRFD. The
    numerical results may be different) Try t = 1 in.
    required Ag 3.241
    Required wg = = = 3.241 in.
    t 1
    Try a 1 × 3 21 cross section.

    Ae = An = Ag − Ahole
    = (1 × 3.5) − (7/8 + 1/8)(1)
    = 2.5 in.2 > 2.414 in.2 (OK)
    Check the slenderness ratio:
    3.5(1)3
    Imin = = 0.2917 in.4
    12
    A = 1(3.5) = 3.5 in.2

    From I = Ar2 , we obtain


    r
    Imin
    = 0.2887 in.2 and
    rmin =
    A
    L 5.75(12)
    Maximum = = 239 < 300 (OK)
    r 0.2887
    ∴ Use a PL 1 × 3 12 .
    Remarks

    Example 3.11 shows that after the required area has been
    determined, the procedure is the same for both LRFD and
    ASD.
    Also, in this example the required areas are virtually the same
    for LRFD and ASD, since L/D ≈ 3
    the member is less than 8 inches wide, thus, it is a bar rather
    than a plate, bars are specified to the nearest 1/4 inch in
    width and to the nearest 1/8 inch in thickness
    PL (Plate) designation is common practice for both bars and
    plates
