II. Answer any ONE question. Each question carries TEN marks. [10X1=10M]

11. Determine the design tensile strength of the plate 120 mm x 8 mm connected to a 12
mm thick gusset plate with bolt holes as shown in Fig. below. The yield strength and
ultimate strength of the steel used are 250 MPa and 400 MPa. The Diameter of the bolts
used is 16 mm.
 12. Determine the block shear strength of the tension member as shown in Fig. below. Use
the steel of Grade Fe 410
