Here nothing is mentioned in question whether it is compression or tension then how can you say that it is 250, it can also be 350 right?

250 is the right answer.

250 is the right answer.

Because in compression member subject to wind or seismic loading slenderness ratio is 250.

And for tension member 1: for reversal loading due to wind or seismic loading is 350.

2: for direct wind or seismic loading is 400.

250 is the right answer.
Tahir said:   5 years ago
The answer should be 180 since it is only due to Dead load and imposed load.

250 is the answer. I agree.

250 is the correct answer. I agree.

A tie member is a member design to take tension due to DL and LL (i.e.subjected to tension due to DL and LL) but it can be in compression due to WL/EL. For this max, the slenderness ratio is 350.

180 - Only dead load or superimposed load,
250 - Seismic load wind load,
350- Bracing or roof truss,
400- Prestressed (other than post-tensioned).

So 250 is correct.

Is member compressive and tensile.

If it is compressive then answer will be 250 and if it is tensile answer will be 350.
