A. Overview
This Chapter addresses members subjection to axial and flexure about one or both axes, with or
without torsion and members subject to torsion only.
H1 Doubly and Singly Symmetric Members Subject to Flexure and Axial Force
H2 Unsymmetric and Other Members Subject to Flexure and Axial Force
H3 Members Subject to Torsion and Combined Torsion, Flexure, Shear, and/or Axia l Force
H4 Rupture of Flanges with Holes Subject to Tension
Design Strength
