Hi all,

in the B31.3 equation, the S value is usually appear to be 1/3 of the min. tensile, is it supposed to be 1/3 of the tensile or 2/3 of yeild or lesser of the two, does the code mention anything about what should be used?

As much as possible, do it right the first time...

It should be as you state unless there is a specific tabulated value for the material in Table A.1.

Regards,

SNORGY.

thanks SNORGY,

it appears all the values in table A-1 are 1/3 of minimum tensile...it also appears that all the 2/3 of yeild are higher than 1/3 tensile

As much as possible, do it right the first time...
