Question: A 2 L 4 3 1 2 , has one line of ( 8 ) 1 2 - in . - diameter bolts in standard

A 2L4312, has one line of (8)12-in.-diameter bolts in standard punched holes. The double angle member is 25ft in length. (Refer to the diagram below) and is carrying a dead load of 40 kips and a live load of 120 kips in tension. Check the adequacy of the tensile strength the member under LRFD Load Case 2. Assume that the gusset plate and bolts are satisfactory. For that:
a. Calculate Ag,An, and Ae, and then the Design rupture and yield strengths.
b. Calculate the Design block shear strength.
c. Check if the minimum of these strengths is larger than the tension load from Load Case 2(i.e. check that Rn>Pu)
A 2 L 4 3 1 2 , has one line of ( 8 ) 1 2 - in .
