Introductory Concepts
y Stress: The stress in an axially loaded tension
member is given by Equation
y The stress in a tension member is uniform
throughout the cross-section except:
z near the point of application of load, and
z at the cross-section with holes for bolts or other
discontinuities etc.

Area of bar at section a – a = 8 x ½ = 4 in2

Area of bar at section b – b = (8 – 2 x 7/8 ) x ½ = 3.12 in2
The unreduced area of the member is called its gross area = Ag
The reduced area of the member is called its net area = An
Design strength
• A tension member can fail by reaching one
of two limit states:
1. Excessive deformation
• Yielding at the gross area
2. Fracture
• Fracture at the net area

Effective Net Area
• The connection has a significant influence on the
performance of a tension member.
• A connection almost always weakens the member
and a measure of its influence is called joint
efficiency.
Effective Net Area
•Joint efficiency is a function of:

( )M
(a) Material
i ldductility
ili
(b) Fastener spacing
(c) Stress concentration at holes
(d) Fabrication procedure
(e) Shear lag.

Effective Net Area
Research indicates that shear lag can be accounted for by
using a reduced or effective net area Ae

2/3 and for Tee shapes cut from them, if the connection is
through the flanges with at least three fasteners per line in
the direction of applied load ,
U= 0.9
• For all other shapes with at least three fasteners per line ,
U= 0.85
• For all members with only two fasteners per line

U= 0.75

Net Area Example
Example : A 5 x ½ bar of A572 Gr. 50 steel is used as a tension
member. It is connected to a gusset plate with six 7/8 in. diameter
bolts as shown in below. Assume that the effective net area Ae equals
the actual net area An and compute
p the tensile design g strength
g of the
member.

Net Area Example

Gross section area (Ag):
.5 in2
Ag = 5 x ½ = 2.5
Net section area (An):

Bolt diameter = db = 7/8 in.
Nominal hole diameter = dh = 7/8 + 1/16 in. = 15/16 in.
Hole diameter for calculatingg net area = 15/16 + 1/16 in. = 1 in.
Net section area = An = (5 – 2 x (1)) x ½ = 1.5 in2
13
Net Area Example
Gross yielding design strength:

ft Pn = ft Fy Ag
= 0.9 x 50 ksi x 2.5 in2 = 112.5 kips
Fracture design strength:
ft Pn = ft Fu Ae
= 0.75 x 65 ksi x 1.5 in2 = 73.125 kips
Assume Ae = An (only for this problem)
Therefore, design strength = 73.125 kips (net section fracture

controls).
Shear Lag in Tension

Members
• Shear lag in tension members arises when all the
elements of a cross section do not p
participate
p in the
load transfer at a connection.
•There are two primary phenomena that arise in
these cases:
(i) Non-uniform straining of the web resulting in
bi i l stress
biaxial t states
t t
(ii) Effective area reduction.

Design Bottom Line
Shear lag can have a large influence on the
strength of tension members , in essence
reducing the effective area of the section. The
amount of the reduction is related to the length of
the connection and the arrangement of cross
cross-
section elements that do not participate directly in
the connection load transfer.
Block Shear in Tension

Members
Block shear is a combined tensile/shear tearing
out of an entire section of a connection.
16
Members
y For such a failure to occur,
occur there are
two possible mechanisms:
y (1) Shear rupture + tensile yielding; and
y (2) Shear yielding + tensile rupturing.

Members
y Design Bottom Line
As a likely limit state for connections,

block shear must be considered in
design. This can be accomplished by
consideringg the strength
g limit states of
the two failure mechanisms outlined
above.
