ILLUSTRATION OF TENSILE MEMBER DESIGN
Tn = Fy . Ag
Minimum value
Tn = Fu . Ae = Fu . An . U
Tu ULTIMATE LOAD
Tn NOMINAL STRENGTH
ϕ. Tn DESIGN STRENGTH
NET SECTIONAL AREA
1. Bolt diameter(d).
2. Diameter of the bolt made in workshop (the real hole diameter, d + 2 mm)
3. Imaginary hole diameter. It’s used to calculate the net section, d + 2 mm + 2 mm
or d + 4 mm. The addition of this diameter is as a tolerance of the damage effect
when making holes.
NET SECTIONAL AREA (AN)
An < 0,85 Ag
condition: d imajiner = d + 2 mm + 2 mm
An = Ag – n.d.t
Parallel holes
n = jumlah baut yang gagal
t = tebal pelat
d = diameter lubang
EXAMPLE 1:
Plate 6 x 100 mm
T T
A plate has dimension of 6 x 100 mm and it is subjected to tensile loads as we can see
from the picture. There are some holes for bolts of 16 mm in size. Please calculate
the net sectional area of this tensile element !

EXAMPLE 2:
Plate 10 x 100mm

NET SECTIONAL AREA(AN)
In general, tensile members used are steel profile (not only a plate) with zigzag bolts installation. In this case, it is
necessary to make an equivalent plane based on the center of gravity.
