Given that: Ae = effective area of the member and σy = yield stress In order to obtain the ultimate strength of a tension member, as per the plastic design concept, Aeσy is to be multiplied by Correct Answer 0.85

The maximum load capacity of the tension member is 0.85 Aeσy or 0.85 Aefy

The maximum load capacity of compression member is 1.70 Aeσac

The maximum shear capacity of beam column is 0.55 Aesfy

where

Ae = effective area of the member

σy = yield stress

σac = allowable compressive stress

Aes = effective area of the member resisting shear
