As per IS 800: 2007 limit of slenderness ratio for tension member where reversal of stress is due to loads other than wind or seismic shall not exceed 180.
Refer table 3 of IS800: 2007, we get following values of maximum slenderness ratios for tension members:
|
Maximum Slenderness Ratios for tension members |
|
|
A tension member in which reversal of stress due to loads other than wind or seismic loads. |
180 |
|
A member normally acting as a tie in roof truss or a bracing system but subjected to reversal of stresses resulting from the action of wind or earthquake forces. |
350 |
|
Tension Members (other than Pre-tensioned members) |
400 |
