Maximum slenderness ratios for tension meml

Type of Member
A tension member in which a reversal of
direct stress occurs due to loads other 180
than wind or seismic forces.
A member normally acting as a tie in
roof truss or a bracing system but
subjected to a possible reversal of 350
stresses resulting from the action of the
wind or earthquake forces.
Member always under tension 400
