ST7-1.40.35.8 Modelling Tension-Only or Compression-Only Structural Members
Many structural members and connections have different tensile and compressive behaviour. Typical structural features which are compression-only include contact and bearing situations, whilst tension-only members often include bolts, bracing, cables, ropes or chains. Nonlinear analysis is generally required to consider such members, as it is often not known beforehand which members will be in tension and which members will be in compression, particularly in complex structures.
