CIE 081 ASSIGNMENT

1. A C310 × 31 is connected with 24mm diameter bolts in each flange, as shown in figure. Use Fy = 345
MPa, Fu = 450 MPa, and Ae = 0.90An. Determine the tensile capacity based on gross section and net
section.

2. A W410 x 67 of A992 (Fy = 345 MPa, Fu = 450 MPa) steel is connected to a plate at each flange as
shown. Determine the tensile strength based on the net section and block shear strength. Use U =
0.85

3. The tension member shown in is a A36 (Fy = 248 MPa, Fu = 400 MPa) steel plate. The bolts are
22mm in diameter. Thickness of the plate = 16mm. Determine the tensile capacity based on the net
section.
4. A compression member is built up from a W360 × 134 and a W250 × 73. Compute rx and ry for the
built-up shape.

5. In order to reinforce a column in an existing structure, two channels are welded to the column as
shown. Fy = 248 MPa for both the column and the channels. The effective length with respect to
each axis is 4.80 meters. What is the axial compressive strength of the column?
