Discussion
Which of the following is NOT a compression member?
Answer: B
A tie is not a compression member. A tie is a member that carries axial tension, such as the bottom chord of a roof truss or a hanger. A strut (a member in a truss or frame carrying compression), a rafter (the inclined roof member that is under compression and bending) and a boom (the long arm of a crane, which is compressed along its length when it lifts a load) are all compression members.
