 Example
Refer to the
image below A tension member
uses an 190.90.7 Steel angle From Structural analysis
the member carries tensile forces from dead loads and
live loads of 120 kN and 70kN respectively
The angle steelusesteel Assume the
effective
area is 85 of the gross cross sectional area
Ae 0.85 Ag Is the tension member capable of
carrying the factored tensile force

why is there a 0.6
factor for shear contribution
Because the material behaves differently under tension and shear

Shear strength is typically around 60 of the tensile strength
