Consider the following statements with reference to the design of welded tension
members:
1. The entire cross-sectional area of the connected leg is assumed to contribute to the
effective area in the case of angles.
2. Two angles, back-to-back and tack-welded as per the codal requirements, may be
assumed to behave as a tee-section.
3. A check on slenderness ratio may be necessary in some cases.
Which of the above statements are correct?
1. In case of welded tension members, entire cross-sectional area of connected leg
is condiered in effective area calculation, whereas for bolted connection, deduction for
holes is made for connected leg.
2. As per IS 800 : 2007, two angles placed back-to-back and tack welded area assumed
to behave as tee section.
3. As per IS 800 : 2007, check for slenderness ratio of tension members may be
necessary to provide adequate rigidity to prevent accidental eccentricity of load or
excessive vibration.
Thus, statement 1, 2 and 3 all are correct.Preparing students for success in a changing World.
