Step 1:Gross area of the tension member

is obtained assuming that the
section failed at yielding using
equation

Step 2: Taking into consideration reduction into the

area due to holes and assuming efficiency
85%, area is increased by 15-20%.

Assumed gross area=

1.15*Ag(required)
For welded connection gross area is taken as
sameas required.

Step 3:-

Trial section is chosen by steel

table by gross area.

Step 4: Now strength of the section is checked

as per I.S. code

Check as per I.S. Code

800:2007(Section 6)
A.Design Strength due to Yielding of Gross Section

The design strength of members under axial tension Tdg,

Tdg = fy Ag / m0
where mo = 1.1

B. Design Strength due to Rupture of Critical Section

Plates The design strength in tension of a plate, Tdn,
Tdn =0.9 fu An / m1, m1 = 1.25
An =

pi2
b nd h
t
i 4 g i

Single Angles The design strength, Tdn, as

governed by tearing
Tdn= 0.9 fu Anc / m1 + Ago fy / m0
= 1.4 0.076 (w/t) (fu/fy) (bs/L )<(fy m0/fy m1 )
>0.7
Alternatively,

the

tearing

strength

section may be taken as

Tdn = An fu / m

of

net

Angles with end connections

C. Design Strength due to Block Shear

Plates The block shear strength, Tdb, of
connection shall be taken as the smaller of
( Avg fy /( 3 m0) +0.9 fu Atn / m1 )

Tdb =

or
( 0.9fu Avn /( 3 m1) + fy Atg / m0 )

Tdb =

1

Plates

Step 5: After checking design strength is

less or too much in excess ,a
second trial is selected and all
design process are repeated

Step 6:-

Slender ratio is also checked , it

should be less than 350 for tension
member.
