Use A36 steel and select the lightest American Standard Channel for a tension member that will safely support a service dead load of 444.82 kN and service live load of 222.41 kN. The member is 6.1 m long, and it is connected through the web with two lines of 25 mm diameter bolts. The length of the connection is 150mm. a. Use LRFD b. Use ASD
A plate 1⁄2 3 4 of A36 steel is used as a tension member to carry a service dead load of 6 kips and a service live load of 18 kips. It is to be attached to a 3⁄8-inch gusset plate, as shown in Figure. Design a welded connection.
For following tensioned loads PD=80kips and PL=120kips and by using LRFD method, select the lightest WT6 channel shape to be used as a 20ft long. The member will be connected by a longitudinal weld to flange only (6in) in long at the end. Use A992 Grade (Fy= 50ksi and Fu=65ksi)
