D8.B.3.1 Axial Stress
Tensile Stress
The allowable tensile stress, as calculated in STAAD.Pro as per IS:800 is described below.
The permissible stress in axial tension, σat in MPa on the net effective area of the sections shall not exceed
Compressive Stress
Allowable compressive stress on the gross section of axially loaded compression members shall not exceed 0.6·fy nor the permissible stress sac calculated based on the following equation (per Clause: 5.1.1):
