Hanger Design

(OP)
Should a rod used in a hanger type connection be designed per AISC table J3.2, or as a Tension member per Chap. D?  

RE: Hanger Design

If this is a rod used to support a mezzanine beam from a higher memberm separated by several feet, you need to use Appendix D as the length will be too long to be considered a bolt or threaded part as stipulated in the table.

If it is short though, as in an underslung beam directly bolted to another, use the table to design.

RE: Hanger Design

Chapter D.  Chapter J and Table J3.2 apply to connection components.

RE: Hanger Design

If the hanger is threaded, then table J3.2 should be used.
