Tension capacity of steel section

This calculation determines the yield and ultimate tension capacity of a steel section

Input:

steel in tension

Output:

  1. Definitions
    • ϕ = Resistance factor
    • Fu = Ultimate strength of base metal (ksi)
    • Fy = Yield strength of steel (ksi)
    • Ag = Gross area of cross section (in2)
    • An = Net area of cross section (in2)
