Q: When designing tension members in steel structures, what is the primary limit state considered for failure?
  • A. Yielding of the member
  • B. Buckling of the member
  • C. Excessive deflection
  • D. Shear failure
Correct Answer: Option A - Primary limit state failure for tension member. • Strength in yielding of gross area. • Strength in rupture of critical section • Strength in blocks shear.
A. Primary limit state failure for tension member. • Strength in yielding of gross area. • Strength in rupture of critical section • Strength in blocks shear.

Explanations:
