Consider the following statements related to design of tension members with single structural shapes and plates: 1. The common single structural shapes are angle sections, tee sections, and channel sections. 2. Single angles are not used for bracing, for light truss tension members. 3. Occasionally, I sections are also used as tension members as they have more rigidity. Which of the above statements are correct?

Explanation:
Design of tension members with single structural shapes and plates:
- The common single structural shapes are angle sections, tee sections, and channel sections.
- Angles sections are used for bracing, for light truss tension members, and also resist small compression if reversal of stress takes place.
- I sections are also used as tension members as they have more rigidity and are also used for heavier building or bridge trusses.
Additional Information
- In the design of tension member, when a member is required to take the heavy tensile load, a built-up section consisting of two or more plates is used.
