So what is the tensile strength of this steel member
{"Image DocumentName": "So what is the tensile strength of this steel member?", "Image ImageDescription": "Is it the yield strength or the ultimate strength? Since the tensile strength is the force at which the member fails, the answer to this question depends on how the structural engineer chooses to define failure. For most practical structural applications, the engineer would probably want to ensure that the member does not yield. In such cases, failure would be defined as yielding, and the tensile strength would be 36,000 pounds\u2014the yield strength.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
