This course covers the design of steel tension members based on the AISC Steel Construction Manual, 13th edition. No prior knowledge of previous codes is necessary. This course should be of particular interest to Civil and Structural Engineers. This course will show how to design tension members based on some of the limit states in sections D and J of the specification. In section D, we look at three limit states. In section J we also look at three limit states. These make up the limit states that are used to design most tension members. Table 5-1 and Table 5-2 are my version adapted from the Steel Construction Manual.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Determine the suggested slenderness limit, L/r for tension members.
• Calculate the tensile strength of a tension member.
• Demonstrate how to determine the net area when there are staggered bolts.
• Describe tensile yielding in the gross section.
• Explain tensile rupture in the net section.
• Apply the shear lag factor.
• Develop Tables 5-1 and Table 5-2.
• Analyze the shear strength of bolts.
• Identify the bearing strength at bolt holes.
• Evaluate the block shear strength.

Certificate of Completion

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 10 questions. CPD credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
