Chapter 4 Designing for Axial TensionPublished by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, St. Joseph, Michigan www.asabe.org Citation: Chapter 4, Pages 107-125 (doi:10.13031/2013.29526) in Chapter 4, pp. 107-125 . Copyright 2010 American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, St. Joseph, Mich.Authors: Segerlind, Larry J. Keywords: Allowable Normal Stress; Commentary on the Allowable Normal Stress; Welded Tension Members; Threaded Tension Members; Threaded Bars with Upset Ends; Bolted Tension Members Introductory paragraphs: The design of structural components begins with the axial force member in tension. The tension member is the most efficient structural component because it does not have any compressive stresses. Stability of the member is not a factor. The allowable normal stress for a steel tension member is a function of the yield stress and the ultimate tensile stress. The primary design parameter is the cross-sectional area; the shape of the area is not important. (Download PDF) (Export to EndNotes)
