Note 1.
Why is fracture ( & not yielding) the relevant limit state at the net section?
Yielding will occur first in the net section. However, the deformations induced by yielding will
be localized around the net section. These localized deformations will not cause excessive
deformations in the complete tension member. Hence, yielding at the net section will not be a
failure limit state.
Note 2.
Why is the resistance factor (ft) smaller for fracture than for yielding?
The smaller resistance factor for fracture (t = 0.75 as compared to t = 0.9 for yielding)
reflects the more serious nature and consequences of reaching the fracture limit state.
