Q: Identify the best tension member section from the options, with due consideration to eccentricity.
  • A. Welded single angle section
  • B. Flat bars
  • C. Double angle section on opposite side of gusset plate
  • D. Bolted single angle section
Correct Answer: Option C - The best tension member section will be as double angle section on back to back of gusset plate. • The member and connectors are so arranged that eccentricity in the connection and bending stresses are not developed. • The best tension member section from eccentricity point of view is double angle section on opposite side of gusset plate. • Tension member - wires, cable, bars, rods.
