Question: 4 . 6 An angle L 8 8 1 section is suggested for a shelf angle which is attached to a structural steel frame system.

4.6 An angle L881 section is suggested for a shelf angle which is attached to a structural steel frame
system. The Angle spans over 14 feet (i.e.,L=14 feet). The lateral restraints are at ends only. The wall
supported by the angle is 4-inch brick with a height of 12.6 feet.
Use the LRFD method in this problem. The section properties for the angle are Sx=15.8in3,Ix=89.1in4.
For this angle, Fy=36ksi.
(a) Compute the factored moment Mu and end reaction Ru of this angle.
(b) Compute the moment resistance Mn of the angle.
(c) Compute the angle deflection in inches.
(d) Based on your findings in (a),(b) and (c), decide whether the angle is ok.
(e) The connection of this angle to the structural steel is via two A325 bolts (similar to the
example done in class). However, for the welded part, a 4-inch strip of weld of 316 inches in
size is suggested for the connection of this angle to the structural system (via a plate bracket).
The eccentricity of the reaction Ru with respect to the weld is also 4 inches and the electrode
type is E70xx. Compute the factored shear resistance of the weld using the AISC tables. Based on
your finding and the Ru you computed in Part (a), decide whether the weld is ok.
