Determine P mux for the bolted tension splice shown below using AISC LRFD specifications for the...
Design the lightest available W14 (A992) tension member by the 2016 AISC LRFD for a truss that will carry service DL = 100 kips and service LL = 320 kips. The member is 30 ft. long. The flanges will be bolted to the connection plates (A36) with -in bolts so that four bolts will appear on the cross-section Assume there are at least three bolts per line, standard holes, and the connection is adequate. Hint: Consider all applicable limit states.
Fig. 1 Problem 2 (LRFD Method Only) The splice plates (top and bottom plates, also known as cover plates) shown in Fig. 2 are 4 inch thick, while the main plate is ? inch thick. Use ¾ inch diameter, A325-N bolts. A992 Grade 50 steel will be used for all the plates. The total factored load to be carried by the splice is 50 kips. Make suitable assumptions, if required (a) Determine the minimum width of the plate based on...
A plate 7x3/4” using A36 material is shown below, where the
holes are for ¾” diameter bolts. Determine the available tension
capacity including checking block shear strength by (a) LRFD and
(b) ASD
7" 1.5" 4" 1.5"
Question 1: Three tension members are shown below. Assume the strength of the member controls and not the connecting element. Each member is made from A36 steel. All bolts are spaced at 3.0 inches unless the sketch indicates otherwise. The distance from the centerline of the last bolt to the end of the tension member is 2.0 inches unless the sketch indicates otherwise. The required sketches described below are 20% of the points Include the following: For the area calculations...
