4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is tension failure?
Think about what happens when you pull a rubber band too far.
What is the difference between gross section and net section?
Visualize a cross-section of a cable with holes.
What is the difference between gross and net sections?
Think about holes or cuts in a structure.
True or False: Yielding in the net section is acceptable.
Consider where yielding can safely occur.
A steel beam with a gross area of 15 in² and a yield strength of 60 ksi is subjected to a tension load. Calculate its maximum design strength based on yielding.
Remember to include the resistance factor in your calculations.
Consider an angle connection with a net area of 12 in² and an ultimate strength of 50 ksi under tension. What is its design strength?
Don’t forget to account for the area and resistance factor!
