In structural frames and trusses, tie members (ties) carry axial tensile forces. Struts carry axial compression; rakers are inclined struts. The distinction matters for design: tension members are governed by net section rupture (IS 800 clause 6); compression members by buckling (clause 7). A tie member carries axial tension
