tension loads are termed tension members. The bottom chords of roof and bridge trusses are classic
examples of tension members. Some of the truss web members may carry tension or may be a tension
for certain loading conditions and compression for other loading conditions. Transmission and
microwave towers and bracing systems in multistory buildings and steel cables as used in suspension
bridges and in cable-supported roofs are examples of steel tension members. Some examples of these
members are shown in Fig. (2-1). In all these uses the tensile strength of the steel is used. In this stress
configuration plate buckling or warping is not a consideration in some instances; however, specifications
will require a minimum amount of member stiffness for aesthetic and safety reasons. Generally, tension
members may be categorized as rods and bars, rolled structural shapes, built-up members, and wires or
cables. Currently, the Egyptian Code of Practice does not allow the use of rods and cables in bracing
systems or as main tension members. 609 / 29 > I

requirements and the stiffness requirements. 2-3-1 Allowable Stress in Tension The actual stress in a
tension member is based on the effective net area and should not exceed the allowable stress. The
allowable tensile stress (F) for steel is calculated using Equation (2-2) or Table (2-1) which shows the
allowable tensile stress for different steel grades used in structural design. The yield stress of the
different steel grades can be taken from Table (1-2). Table (2-2) Allowable Tensile Stress For Different
Steel Grades F. (allowable tensile stress), t/cm 40mm<t<100mm Steel grade t<40mm ST 37 1.40 1.30 ST

are considered (case of loading II). 609 / 29 > I

except where the net area is the least effective cross-sectional area for all other cases as where bolt or
rivet holes are used for mechanical fasteners at the ends or where holes and/or area reductions occur
along the member. The effective area in resisting the tensile stress of the cross-section is called the
effective net area "Anet". For bolted (or riveted) connections: Net area = Gross area - Area of holes Anet

failure line is that which gives the minimum area. There are two lines of staggered holes. The failure line

plate or section perpendicular to its axis, diagonally or following a zigzag line through adjacent rivet or

any portion of sectional- area is measured along a diagonal plane, a quantity = (S. 1/4g) is added for each
