Tension Members Part 5 and Chapter D SCM 15th ed

Описание: This video walks through Part 5 and Chapter D of the AISC Steel Construction Manual (15th Edition) in a clear, exam-focused manner. You’ll learn how to systematically determine the design strength of tension members as required by AISC 360. Key limit states such as yielding of the gross section and rupture of the net section are explained in detail. The concepts of gross area vs net effective area are broken down for quick understanding. Special emphasis is placed on the shear lag factor (U)—a commonly tested and often confusing topic. This video clarifies when and how shear lag applies based on connection configuration. Both LRFD and ASD approaches are discussed to match exam requirements. Step-by-step worked examples help translate theory into problem-solving skills. Common exam pitfalls and mistakes are highlighted to help you avoid lost points.
This content aligns directly with the NCEES exam specifications. Mastering tension members builds a strong foundation for steel design questions. Perfect for last-minute revision or concept reinforcement. Ideal for civil and structural engineers targeting breadth exam efficiency. If steel design feels overwhelming, this video simplifies it—one concept at a time.
