TENSION - L Flashcards
TRUE OR FALSE
The length of a tension member is significant both in the strength and serviceability limit state
conditions.
FALSE
The condition in which the efficiency of the cross section is reduce to a certain percentage of the
net section is due to a behavior known as ________________.
Shear Lag
Pure axial tension members are those which the force in tension is applied at the
_______________ axis.
Centroidal
The center to center distance between two consecutive bolts in a bolt line is called
_______________.
Pitch
Using the formula U=1-x/L, Determine the value of U if L = 10 in. Note: The 5 in leg is connected
on the plate.
0.9
There is no Block Shear Failure in ASD because Block Shear Failure happens in the
________________ range of behavior.
Inelastic
Using AISC 2016 Table D3.1, Determine the value of U assuming 3-bolts per line.
0.6
TRUE OR FALSE
The actual rupture strength of steel is lower than the rupture strength recorded in a coupon
test.
FALSE
The value s^2/4g is an additional width of the section due to ______________.
Stagger
The block shear failure mode is a combination of shear and tension failures on the ___________.
Connecting Plate
The equivalent hole diameter considers both an allowance for bolt insertion and an allowance
for error due to _____________ brought about by punching, drilling, etc.
Damage
Rolled steel sections that do not belong to standard rolled shape sections like W,S,C and T are
called ____________ shapes.
Miscellaneous
The condition in which steel exhibits a considerable increase in tension strength beyond the
yield point is called _______________.
Strain Hardening
High strength steel is less ductile than mild steel because of its low ________ content.
Carbon
