Two steel plates are joined using 3/8-inch parallel-loaded fillet welds. The yield strength, Sy, and the length of the welds are known. The design factor is 3.5. Determine the maximum tensile...
follow australian codes (a) The rigid bolted connection shown in Figure 4 is used to transmit a total vertical load of 350 kN applied as shown. Two bracket plates are connected to the flanges of the I section using the bolt groups (refer figure 4) and hence, the bolts are loaded in- plane. Determine if the bolted connection shown in Figure 4 can safely support the applied load (use cl. 9.4.1 AS4100 1998). The bolts are M20 of 8.8S grade...

The joint shown in Figure 1 is made from steel Grade 350 (AS/NZS 3678). Four bolts are used. Diameters of all holes are 5 mm. Note that the middle hole on both Plates A is just a hole with no bolt. The shear design capacity (reduced nominal capacity) of the bolts in single shear is 10 kN. Dimensions given below are in mm. Determinre the maximum tension design force: a) * N2PlatesA that the double plate A can support. b)...
Question 2 (30 marks) The wood beam below (cross section dimensions 150 x 250 mm, as indicated) is strengthened at the bottom using 3 steel reinforcement plates of the same 12mm thickness (see figure), perfectly glued to the wooden beam. The modulus of elasticity for wood is E,-12 GPa and for steel E,-200 GPa. Given the allowable stresses (in both tension and compression) for wood ơw-12 MPa and for steel Ơs = 150 MPa, determine the largest possible moment due...
Standard design practice, as exhibited by the solutions to Probs. 8-66 to 8-70, is to assume that the bolts, or rivets, share the shear equally. For many situations, such an assumption may lead to an unsafe design. Consider the yoke bracket of Prob. 8-61, for example. Suppose this bracket is bolted to a wide-flange column with the centerline through the two bolts in the vertical direction. A vertical load through the yoke-pin hole at distance B from the column flange...

Question 1 (30 Marks) Plate A is fillet-welded to Plate B as shown in Figure 1. Plate A and Plate B have the same material properties Both plates are 10 mm thick. There are two holes (with a diameter of d) in Plate A. It is assumed that weld failure will not occur (a) If Plate A has a yield stress (fy) of 350 MPa and an ultimate tensile strength (fu) of 450 MPa, what is the maximum load (P)...
