Pin-Connected Tension Member

An ASTM A36 pin connected tension member with the dimensions shown below carries a dead load of 12 kips and a live load of 4 kips in tension. The diameter of the pin is 1 inch, in a Q-in. oversized hole. Assume that the pin itself is adequate. Verify the strength by both LRFD and ASD.

Section D2

The eyebar tension member available strength is governed by the tension yield limit state. Note: The eyebar detailing limitations ensure that the tensile yielding limit state at the eyebar body will control the strength of the eyebar itself. The pin should also be checked for shear yielding, and if the material strength is lower than that of the eyebar, bearing.
