Explanation:

  • Double angle sections on opposite sides of a gusset plate provide better symmetry, load distribution, and stability under tension.

  • They reduce eccentricity and bending effects compared to single angles.

  • Bolted or welded single angles and channel sections are less efficient due to eccentricity and potential twisting.

  • Double angles connected back-to-back with a gusset plate are commonly used as tension members in trusses and bracing.

Additional Information

  • Tension members are structural elements designed to carry axial tensile forces.

  • Important considerations include cross-sectional area, connection type, and load transfer efficiency.

  • IS 800 provides guidelines on design and selection of tension members in steel structures.
