What is the primary purpose of a lug angle in a tension member connection?
RCCRCC and Steel DesignEASY
Choose the correct answer
A
To increase the tensile strength of the main member
B
To reduce the length of the connection
C
To provide additional shear resistance
D
To act as a stiffener for the gusset plate
Correct Answer
B. To reduce the length of the connection
Why is this the answer?
Lug angles are used to connect the outstanding legs of a tension member to the gusset plate, which allows for a shorter connection length and more efficient load transfer.
