350 is the right answer, because table 3 of is 800 2007 states that "A member normally acting as a tie or bracing not considered effective when subjected to possible reversal of stress into compression from action of wind or earthquake forces".

350 for tension members.

250 for compression members.

Sorry answer 250 is correct as,

It doesn't tell any condition that the member is actually a tensile member and it subjected to the reversal of stress.

If it is mentioned only we have to go for 350.

Otherwise, it is understood that it is "the member subjected to compressive loads resulting from wind or earth or seismic forces - 250".

Which is the correct answer 250 or 350?

Give me a proper explanation.

INDER KUMAR said:   8 years ago
350 is the correct answer.

Is member compressive and tensile.

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

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.
