1) A double angle section ISA 150× 150 × 15 mm is connected to 16 mm thick gusset
plate as shown in Fig. 1. Determine the service load; the connection can carry on the
basis of shear and bearing strength. The bolts are of grade 4.6 and of 24 mm in
diameter.

Fig. 1
2) Determine the number of bolts, pitch and edge distance, based on shear and bearing
required for making the bearing type connection of the members shown in Fig. 2. The
bolts are of grade 4.6.

3) Design a double-cover butt joint to connect two plates, each 12 mm thick and 300 mm
wide. The service load to be transferred is 200 kN.
4) For the connection of member with gusset plate shown in Fig. 3, determine the
number of bolts required if the slip is not permitted. The bolts used are 24 mm
diameter, high strength type of grade 8.8.

5) Investigate the safety of the hanger connection shown in Fig. 4. Include the effect of
the prying action. The bolts used are of high-strength type of grade 8.8.
