Problem 3
An equal-leg angle L8x8x5/8 tension member is subjected to tensile loads. The connection
between the member and the gusset plate is made by using 4-1 1/8" diameter bolts in one row as
shown. Assume Fy = 36 ksi and Fu = 58 ksi. Use U = 0.8. Determine the controlling design
tensile strength OPn of the tension member (the smallest OPn from yielding, rupture, and block
shear)
