A 15" x 3/8" bar of A572 Gr. 50 steel is used as a tension member. It is connected to a gusset plate with 7/8-in diameter bolts as shown in the figure. Use s = 2.0 and g = 3.0. Determine the design tensile strength of the section based on tensile rupture of the net area. Determine the allowable tensile strength of the section based on yielding of the gross area.
