6.3 AXIAL TENSION AND BENDING
Members subject to both axial tension and bending stresses must satisfy the
following equation:
4
h 1/
< Eq. 6.6
Ft Fhx Fhy
where f, is the computed bending stress, f a is the computed axial tensile stress,
Ft, is the allowable bending stress and F, is the .governing allowable tensile
stress.
