IN A NUTSHELL
Activity 1: Based from the definition of the most essential terms in the study
of curriculum and the learning exercises that you have done, please feel free
to write your arguments or lessons learned below. I have indicated my
arguments or lessons learned.
 A tension member can fail by reaching one of two limit states (1)
excessive deformation; or (2) fracture.
 Excessive deformation can occur due to the yielding of the gross
section.
 Fracture of the net section can occur if the stress at the net section.
 The objective of design is to prevent these failure before reaching the
ultimate loads on the structure.
 Structural elements that are subjected to direct axial tensile loads which
tend to elongate the members.
