For A36 grade,

​
F​y=36 ksi​, F​u=58 ksi​, E=29000 ksi

Given, A​e​=A​n, PL 3/8X7"

Three 1" dia bolts

Nominal strength for yeilding,

P​ny​​=F​y​*A​​g

                                                   =36*(2.625
in​2​)  = 94.5 kips
                           
where A​g=gross area of plate​

A​n=Net area of plate after deducting bolts area

=A​g ​-
A​b                                                                                                                                                         where
A​e​=(3/8)*
(1+1/8)*1=0.42 in​2

                                                                                                             (hole
size will be more than bolt by
1/8")             

=2.625-0.42=2.20
in​2

Now, we know that A​e​=A​n

Nominal strength under fracture,

Pnf​=F​u​*A​e​=58*2.20=127.6
kips

LRFD

Design strength under yielding, ​*P​ny​=0.9*94.5=85.05

kips         
( ​=resistance
factor)

Design strength under fracture, ​*P​nf=0.75*127.6=95.7

kips

ASD

strength under yielding, =0.6*94.5=56.7

kips                                               
(0.6 and 0.5 are safety factors)

strength under fracture, =0.5*127.6=63.8

kips

Strength of plate will be minmum of two values for each design

philosophy.
