Question

The following nominal capacities are given for the three limit states of a tension member. Using AISC-LRFD specifications, which limit state governs and what is the design capacity?

Pn = 288 kips for yielding limit state

Pn = 325 kips for fracture limit state

Pn = 320 kips for block shear limit state

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given Nominal capacity of a tension member for three limit states.

Using AISC-LRFD specifications, it is asked to which limit state governs and what is design capacity

Pn = 288 kips for yielding limit state

Pn = 325 kips for fracture limit state

Pn = 320 kips for block shear limit state
