Steel part 2 1-50 part 1

What is the primary load carried by a tension member?

• Shear

• Compression

• Torsion

• Tension

Tension members are designed to resist:

• Crippling and buckling

• Bending and shear

• Yielding and rupture

• Crushing and deflection

A member that carries direct tensile force is called a:

• Column

• Tie

• Strut

• Beam

Which action helps reduce eccentricity in a tension member?

• Compression

• Bending

• Torsion

• Direct tension

Tension members are found in all the following except:

• Roof trusses

• Towers

• Bracing systems

• Slabs

The stress in an axially loaded tie is:

• Maximum at edges

• Varies parabolically

• Uniform

• Minimum at center

Gross section yielding is a failure mode of:

• Bolts

• Base plate

• Tension members

• Brackets

Which failure is associated with bolt holes reducing net area?

• Shear lag

• Bearing failure

• Net section rupture

• Flexure rupture

Block shear failure occurs due to a combination of:

• Axial and bending

• Shear and tension

• Buckling and torsion

• Axial and torsion

A structural member designed to withstand compressive force is called a:

• Tie

• Strut

• Compression member

• Rafter
