What is the maximum slenderness ratio for a steel member carrying compressive loads resulting from dead loads and imposed loads? Correct Answer 180
|
Type of member |
Maximum slenderness ratio |
|
A member carrying compressive loads resulting from the dead load and the imposed load |
180 |
|
A tension member in which a reversal of direct stress occurs due to loads other than wind and seismic forces |
180 |
|
A member subjected to compression force resulting only from combination with wind/earthquake actions, provided the deformation of such members does not adversely affect the stress in any part of the structure |
250 |
|
Compression flange of a beam against lateral torsional buckling |
300 |
|
A member normally acting as a tie in a roof truss or a bracing system not considered effective when subjected to a possible reversal of stress into compression resulting from the action of wind earthquake forces. |

|
Member always under tension (other than pre-tensioned members) |
