Considering the following steel connection. The plates in Pink are 9mm steel plates. The middle plate (Yellow) is 18mm thick. The width of the plate is 100mm. The maximum allowable tension stresses on any of the plates is 100Mpa in Gross Area Yielding and 150 Mpa for Net Area or Tension Rupture. The bolts used are 8mm in diameter, the holes are 10mm in diameter, no need to add 1.6mm. The bolts allow a maximum of 280 Mpa of shear. Determine the maximum allowable "P" of the connection in kN.
A tension connection consists of A36 steel double angles (two L4x4x1/4 shapes, or 2L4x4x1/4) fastened to a 4x10 No. 2 Red Oak member with a single row of four 0.875 inch A307 bolts. The connection is subjected to normal temperatures but wet in-service conditions. Assume the group action factor is C,=0.95 and the geometry factor is Ca=1. The controlling ASD load combination is D+ L where L is from occupancy. Elevation Cross Section L4x4x1/4 L4x4x1/4 Pa Р. 2L4x4x1/4 4х10 4x10 Plan L4x4x1/4 Pa/2 Pa 4x10 L4x4x1/4 Pa/2 • Determine the load, Pa, that the connection can support based on tension strength of the 4x10. Pa=. lb • Determine the load, Pa, that the connection can support based on gross tension yield of the double angles. The ASD design strength for gross tension yield is F,A,/1.67 where F=36 ksi, A,=1.93 in² for each L4x4x1/4. Pa=. lb
2. See connection figure below. The rivets is 7/8 in. in diameter. According to the rivert supplier, the allowable stresses for the material are t = 15 ksi and on = 32 ksi. What is the allowable load of the connection? L4 x 3-1/2 W18 x 86 W24 x 117 Girder Beam
