$1)$ A C$12$x$30$ and a $\backslash (11/2^\{\backslash$prime $\backslash$prime$\}\backslash )$ thick plate are to be bolted together and loaded in tension. The bolt arrangement shown in Figure $9-1$ is hypothetical. You are asked to design the bolted connection $($bolt size, number, spacing, and arrangement$)$ for bearing and shear strength, given that the supported factored load is $240$ kips in tension. Then, check your design for yield on gross, fracture on net, and block shear with respect to the channel only. Standard A$325$ bolts are used with the threads in the shear plane. Steel grade for the channel and plate are A$992$ steel. Draw your final bolt arrangement and label dimensions.
