Type of Member

λ

A tension member in which a reversal of direct stress occurs due to loads other than wind or seismic forces.

180

A member normally acting as a tie in roof truss or a bracing system but subjected to a possible reversal of stresses resulting from the action of the wind or earthquake forces.

350

Member always under tension

400

Maximum slenderness ratios for compression members:

Type of Member

λ

A tension member in which a reversal of direct stress occurs due to loads other than wind or seismic forces.

180

A member carrying compressive loads resulting from dead loads and imposed loads.

180

A member subjected to compressive forces resulting only from combination with wind/earthquake actions, provided the deformation of such members does not adversely affect the stress in any part of the structure.

250

Compression flange of a beam restrained against lateral-torsional buckling.

300

A member normally acting as a tie in a roof truss or a bracing system not considered effective when subjected to a possible reversal of stresses resulting from the action of wind or earthquake forces.
