D2. Axial tension (Columns: AISC 360)

If axial tension exists, tensile yielding and rupture checks are performed at the point of maximum tension in accordance with Equations D2.1 and D2.2.

Note: In the rupture check the net area Ae is assumed to equal the gross area Ag.

A warning is also issued if the slenderness ratio L/r exceeds 300.
