This document discusses the design of tension members. It introduces common applications of tension members in buildings and bridges. Common cross section shapes used for tension members are presented, including channels, angles, rods, and cables. The behavior of materials in tension is described, along with factors that affect the strength of plates and angles under tension, such as holes, gusset thickness, and end connections. The document concludes with discussions on designing for efficiency, strength, and stiffness requirements.
