What is slenderness ratio of a tension member?(a) ratio of its least radius of gyration to its unsupported length(b) ratio of its unsupported length to its least radius of gyration(c) ratio of its maximum radius of gyration to its unsupported length(d) ratio of its unsupported length to its maximum radius of gyrationThe question was asked in quiz.Question is from Modes of Failure, Slenderness Ratio and displacement topic in section Design of Tension Members of Design of Steel Structures

Answer»

Right option is (b) ratio of its unsupported LENGTH to its least radius of gyration

The EXPLANATION is: Slenderness ratio of tension member is ratio of its unsupported length to its least radius of gyration. This LIMITING slenderness ratio is REQUIRED in ORDER to prevent undesirable lateral movement or excessive vibration.
