    Tension members are structural members subjected to axial tensile forces. Their strength depends on their cross-sectional area. Design involves finding the lightest steel section with a design strength greater than the maximum factored tensile load. Effective area calculations account for bolt holes by deducting their total area from the gross area. Strength is calculated based on yielding of the gross section or fracture of the net section using resistance factors and material properties.

    Design of Tension Members

    Structural members that are subjected to axial


    tensile force (truss members, cables in
    suspension bridges, bracing for buildings,) are
    tension members.
    The strength is the cross-sectional area is the
    total determinant of the member capacity.
    The design involves finding the lightest steel
    section (angle, wide-flange, or channel section)
    with design strength greater than or equal to the
    maximum factored design tension load acting on
    it.

    Effective area, Aeff
    The net area of a cross-section or element
    section shall be taken as its gross area less
    appropriate deductions for all holes and other
    openings.

    Effective area, Aeff
    Provided that the fastener holes are not
    staggered, the total area to be deducted for
    the fastener holes shall be the maximum sum
    of the sectional areas of the holes in any
    cross section perpendicular to the member
    axis.

    When the fastener holes are staggered, the total
    area to be deducted for fastener holes shall be
    the greater of:
    The deduction for non staggered holes
    The sum of the sectional area of all holes in any
    diagonal or zig-zag line extending progressively
    across the member or part of the member, less
    s2t/(4p) for each gauge space, p, in the chain of
    holes,

    Where
    s is the pitch, the spacing of the centers of
    two consecutive holes in the chain

    P is the spacing between the centers of
    two holes measured perpendicular to the
    member axis.

    If tension load is transmitted directly to each of the
    cross-sectional elements by fasteners or welds:

    If tension load transmitted through some but
    not all of the cross-sectional elements:
    by fasteners,
