Analysis and Design of Tension Members (LRFD)
(LRFD)
- No Buckling
- Simple Design
should be concentric.
Examples:
a- Trusses
b- Braces
c- Cables / Hangers
d- Tie Rods
Sections:
At sec 1:
Anet = bxt – 1xdhxt = t(b-dh) … (Full force Pu in plate)
At sec 2:
2) Anet =1.2x32-3x1.8x1.2+1.2( )
4) Anet=1.2x32-5x1.8x1.2 +4( )
Φt Pn = 0.75 Fu Aeff
Ex 1
LRFD:
For yielding of G. Section:
Ag = 5 x ½ = 2.5 in2
ksi in²
And Pn (nominal strength) = Ag Fy = 36 x 2.5 = 90 kips
dh = db + ’’ = + = ’’
in²
Aeff = U (Anet) = 1 x 1.75 = 1.75 in2
ksi in²
And Pn = Fu Aeff = 58 x 1.75 = 101.5 Kips
ASD:
Given:
A-36 Steel …. L 3 ½ x 3 ½ x 3/8 …… 7/8’’ bolts
Then dh = 7/8 + 1/8 = 1’’
LRFD
For yielding of G. Section:
Ag = 2.5 in2 (from manual tables)
ASD
Pa = PD + PL = 35 + 15 = 50 kips
Given
Φt Pn = 78.1 kips
ASD:
U= 1 -
And L: distance between 1st and last bolt in the line = length of line
with max number of bolts (if 2 lines)
U Ae and if L U Ae
Note: if ‘< , connect long leg & make short leg unconnected.
