Question 1.
What does LRFD stand for?
Show hintHide hint
Think of it as a safety design principle.
Question 2.
What is a tension member?
Show hintHide hint
Think about cables or rods.
3Question 3.
What is the purpose of LRFD?
- To minimize costs
- To ensure safety in design

Show hintHide hint
Think about why we use safety factors.
4Question 4.
True or False: Yielding in the gross section allows for dangerous elongation of the member.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Recall the effects of yielding.
Question 5.
Given a tension member with a gross area of 12 in² and a yield stress of 40 ksi, determine the design strength based on yielding.
Show hintHide hint
Make sure to apply the factors correctly.
Question 6.
In a connection with an effective net area of 8 in² and a tensile strength of 75 ksi, if the connection lacks sufficient distance behind the pin, what could happen?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the implications of tension on material structure.
