What are steel tension members?(a) Structural elements that are subjected to direct compressive loads(b) Structural elements that are subjected to direct tensile loads(c) Structural elements that are subjected to indirect compressive loads(d) Structural elements that are subjected to indirect tensile loadsI got this question in an international level competition.I'd like to ask this question from Tension Members and their Types in chapter Design of Tension Members of Design of Steel Structures

Answer»

Right OPTION is (b) STRUCTURAL elements that are subjected to direct tensile loads

For explanation: Steel tension members are those structural elements that are subjected to direct axial tensile loads, which tend to ELONGATE the members. A member in PURE tension can be stressed up to and beyond the yield limit and does not buckle LOCALLY or overall.
