Question: 1 ) A 1 2 mm thick plate shown in is used as a tension member. The holes are punched for 2 0 mm bolts.

1) A 12 mm thick plate shown in is used as a tension member. The holes are punched for 20 mm bolts. The damaged hole diameter is 4 mm larger than the bolt.1. Determine the critical tensile fracture path for the plate by calculating the net width of the following paths.
A. A-B-C-D
B. A-B-C-E-F
C. A-B-E-F
D. A-B-C-E-D
2) Determine the critical net area of the plate in mm2
3) Determine the design tensile strength (kN)of the plate based on critical net area. Use Fy =248 MPa and Fu =400 MPa and resistance factor of 0.75.
