Tension Member Design Specifications

The document summarizes the design of a tension member made of S275 steel with a 120x120x10 mm cross section. It calculates the member's material properties, section properties, and checks that its tension capacity of 545.6 kN exceeds the required ultimate tension force of 157 kN. The design is determined to be satisfactory.

Clause [Link] Tension capacity for welded sections welded sections


bolted sections
Gross section area of connected element a1 = 120 x 10
= 1200
a2 = ( Ag -a1 )
= 1120.0 mm2

Tension capacity, for welded connections Pt = py (Ag - 0.3 a2 ) Pt = 545.6 kN


= 545.6 kN
> Ft

Member tension capacity is satisfactory ok
