Discussion
Consider the following statements about a diagonal tension field web:
1. It is permitted to buckle in shear well below its ultimate load.
2. After buckling it carries load as inclined tension bands.
3. The flanges and uprights are unaffected by the post-buckled behaviour.
Which of the statements given above is or are correct?
Answer: C
The first two describe Wagner's result correctly. The third is false and is the practical catch: the tension field pulls the flanges inward and compresses the uprights, so both must be designed for loads that would not exist if the web had not buckled.
