Tension Members

In a steel plate with bolted connections, the rupture of the net section is a mode of failure under

In the design of welded tension members, consider the following statements: $${\rm I}.\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ The entire cross-sectional area of the connected leg is assumed to contribute to the effective area in case of an...

Two equal angles $$ISA$$ $$100\,\,mm \times 100\,\,mm$$ of thickness $$10$$ $$mm$$ are placed back-to-back and connected to the either side of a gusset plate through a single row of $$16$$ $$mm$$ diameter rivets in doubl...

A truss tie consisting of $$2$$ $$ISA$$ $$75 \times 75 \times 8\,\,mm$$ carries a pull of $$150$$ $$kN.$$ At ends the two angles are connected, one each on either side of a $$10$$ $$mm$$ thick gusset plate, by $$18$$ $$m...

Two steel plates each of width $$150$$ $$mm$$ and thickness $$10$$ $$mm$$ are connected with three $$20$$ $$mm$$ diameter rivets is placed in zig-zag pattern. The pitch of the rivet is $$75$$ $$mm$$ and gauge is $$60$$ $...
