Analysis and Design of Tension Members

(LRFD)

Member is subjected to pure axial force (Pu) passing


through c.g. and perpendicular to cross section.

- No Buckling

- Simple Design

- Care for design and detailing of connections, Load

should be concentric.
Examples:
a- Trusses

b- Braces

c- Cables / Hangers

d- Tie Rods

Sections:

Rods /Angles/Channels/Cables/ IPE / Built-up


Staggered Holes:

At sec 1:
Anet = bxt – 1xdhxt = t(b-dh) … (Full force Pu in plate)

At sec 2:

Anet = bxt – 2dht + x t …. (Full Pu in Plate)


1) Anet = 1.2(32 – 3x1.8) = 31.92 cm2 (Full Pu)

2) Anet =1.2x32-3x1.8x1.2+1.2( )

= 35.12 cm2 (4/5 Pu)

3) Anet =1.2x32-4x1.8x1.2 +2( )

= 36.16 cm2 (Pu)

4) Anet=1.2x32-5x1.8x1.2 +4( )

= 40.4 cm2 (Pu)

5) Anet =1.2x32 -4x1.8x1.2 +2( )

= 36.16 cm2 (4/5 Pu)


Failure Modes:

1) Yielding: elongation at gross section (a-a)


 excessive deformations at connections.
Pn ≥ Ag Fy
Where Ag = b x t

2) Rupture @ least-net area section


 Strain- hardening is reached quickly @ net area section.
Pn ≥ Aeff Fu
Where Aeff = effective net area ≤ Anet

= U Anet where U≤1

- Anet = Ag - Aholes + xt For Staggered Bolts

Then, for sec (b-b) or (c-c): Anet= b x t – n(dh)(t) = t (b-n dh)

Where n = # of bolts/ section

S = Pitch distance between 2 consecutive bolts.

g = Gage distance between 2 consecutive bolts.

 Note: - At section (b-b)  Full (Pn) in plate.

- At section (c-c)  2(Pn/4) = Pn/2 remains in plate.

 Limit State for Yielding in gross-section:

Pn=Fy Ag... (AISC –EqnD2_1)

Φt Pn = 0.9 Fy Ag... (Design tensile Strength by


LRFD)

 Limit State for Rupture in net-section:

Pn= Fu Aeff … (AISC – D2_2)

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

Then Φt Pn (design strength) = 0.9 x 90 = 81 kips

 For Rupture of N. Section:

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

Then Φt Pn = 0.75 x 101.5 = 76.1 Kips governs

ASD:

= = 53.9 k …. (Yielding) corresponds to 0.6 FY

And = = 50.8 k … (Fracture) corresponds to 0.5 Fu


Ex 2

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)

Hence Φt Pn = 0.9 (36 x 2.5) = 0.9 x 90 = 81 kips


 For Rupture of N. Section:
An = 2.5 – 1.0 (3/8’’ x 1’’) = 2.125 in2

Where Φt Pn = 0.75 Fu Aeff


In this example, assume u = 0.85 i.e Aeff = 0.85 An = 1.806 in2

Hence Φt Pn = 0.75 x 58 x 1.806 = 78.5 kips governs

IF PD = 35 kips and PL = 15 kips


Combination 1: Pu = 1.4 PD = 1.4 x 35 = 49 kips

Combination 2: Pu = 1.2 PD + 1.6 PL = 1.2x35 +1.6x15 = 66 kips

(Note that when PL < 8 PD then comb 2 controls)

Then Pu = 66 kips < Φt Pn = 78.5 kips OK

ASD
Pa = PD + PL = 35 + 15 = 50 kips

 Yield: ft = = = 20 ksi < Ft = 0.6 Fy = 21.6 ksi

 Fracture: ft = = = 27.7 ksi < Ft = 0.5 Fu = 29 ksi

Hence the member is satisfactory


Ex 3

Given

A 36 steel - 2L 5x3x5/16 - 4 bolts Φ1/2’’ (Assume Ae= 0.75 An)

LRFD (For one angle):


in²
 Yield: Pn=Fy Ag = 36 x 2.41 =86.76 kips

 Φt Pn = 78.1 kips

 Rupture: (An)1L =2.41 – 2 x [ x ( + ) ] = 2.0193 in2 then

Ae=0.75x2.0193 = 1.514 in2

 Φt Pn =0.75 x 1.52 x 58 = 65.86 kips

Therefore for 2Ls  Φt Pn= 2 x 66.15 = 131.72 kips

Check: if Pu < Φt Pn = 131.72 kips

ASD:

 Yield: = = 51.95 kips

 Fracture: = = 44.1 kips

Then for 2Ls = 2x44.1 = 88.2 kips Check if Pa ≤ = 88.2 kips


LRFD:

 Yield: Φt Pn= 0.9 x 36 x 10 = 324 kips governs

 Fracture: Φt Pn=0.75(58 x Ae)

Where Ae= u x An (in this example assume u=1)

 find least An??


in²
- sec ABCD = 10 -1(0.4 x 7/8) – 1(0.65 x 7/8) = 9.08 in2 (Full Pn)
- sec EFBGCD

= 10 – 2(0.4 x 7/8 + 0.65 x 7/8) +( x 0.4) + 2( )( )

= 8.8 in2 (Full Pn)


- sec EFBCD:

10 -2(0.65x 7/8) -1(0.4 x7/8) + ( )( ) =8.77 in2 governs

Hence Φt Pn = 0.75(58x8.77) = 381.5 kips


In Transition zone, “Shear Lag Phenomenon”:
Use Aeffb= U Anet in Bolted Connections

Aeff = U Agross in Welded Connections

Where U = reduction factor accounts for no-uniform stress distribution

 U= 1 -

where : distance from centroid of connected area to plane of


connection.

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.
