Question
Consider the following statements related to design of tension members with single structural shapes and plates: 
1. The common single structural shapes are angle sections, tee sections and channel sections. 
2. Single angles are not used for bracing, for light truss tension members. 
3. Occasionally, I sections are also used as tension members as they have more rigidity. 
Which of the above statements are correct?
A.
1 and 3 only
B.
2 and 3 only
C.
1 and 2 only
D.
1, 2 and 3
Answer ( Option A)

1 and 3 only

Solution

Design of tension members with single structural shapes and plates: 
• The common single structural shapes are angle sections, tee sections and channel sections. 
• Angles sections are used for bracing, for light truss tension members, and also resist small compression if reversal of stress takes place. 
• I sections are also used as tension members as they have more rigidity and are also used for heavier building or bridge trusses. 
Key Point: 
• In the design of tension member, when a member is required to take the heavy tensile load, a built-up section consisting of two or more plates is used.
