How does load actually transfer in a tension member? 🤔

It’s not direct — it happens through the connection.

📌 Load is transferred through shear in bolts
📌 Plates experience bearing and distribute the force
📌 Finally, the member carries axial tension

Understanding this flow is crucial for safe and efficient steel connection design.
