3.2-1 A PL 3⁄8 × 7 tension member is connected with three 1-inch-diameter bolts, as shown in Figure
P3.2-1. The steel is A36. Assume that Ae = An and compute the following.
a. The design strength for LRFD.
b. The allowable strength for ASD.
3.3-1 Determine the effective area Ae for each case shown in Figure P3.3-1.
D.)
E.)
3.4-1 The tension member shown in Figure P3.4-1 is a ½ × 10 plate of A36 steel. The connection is with
⅞-inch-diameter bolts. Compute the nominal strength based on the net section.
3.5-1 Compute the nominal block shear strength of the tension member shown in Figure P3.5-1. ASTM A572
Grade 50 steel is used. The bolts are ⅞ inch in diameter.
3.6-1 Select a single-angle tension member of A36 steel to resist a dead load of 28 kips and a live load
of 84 kips. The length of the member is 18 feet, and it will be connected with a single line of 1-inch-
diameter bolts, as shown in Figure P3.6-1. There will be four or more bolts in this line.
a. Use LRFD.
b. Use ASD.
