EXAMPLES FOR TENSION MEMBERSBY USING ASD METHOD

EX1/ CHECK THE STRESSES FOR A TENSION MEMBER IF THE APPLIED LOAD IS 200KIPS USING ASD METHOD , ASSUME A_g=20IN² AND Ae=16IN² UAE A36 STEEL TYPE.

solusion :  for A36 steel type Fy = 36 ksi , Fu = 58 ksi

1- stress on gross area :

atual stress ft = P/Ag = 200/20 = 10 ksi

allowable stress Ft = 0.6 Fy = 0.6*36 = 21.6 ksi > ft  o.k

2- stress on net area :

atual stress ft = P/Ae = 200/16 = 12.5 ksi

allowable stress Ft = 0.5 Fu = 0.5*58= 29 ksi > ft   o.k

the stresses are checked.
