Tension refers to the tensile force that can act on a member.
In order to design tension members, it is important to analyze how the member would fail under both yielding andfracture. These are the limit states. The limit state that produces the smallest design strength is considered thecontrolling limit state.
The AISC Manual of Steel Construction lists the requirements for designing tension members in Chapter D ofthe Specifications Section (page 16.1-24).
