Question: An unequal angle S 2 7 5 L 1 5 0 times 1 0 0 times 1 0 times 1 9 is

An unequal angle S275 L 150\times 100\times 10\times 19 is used as the diagonal member in a plane truss. The diagonal member is in tension. For ease of transportation, the truss is fabricated in two segments and the line of separation cuts acrossthis diagonal member. Ag=2420 mm^2
Determine:
(a) The tensile capacity assuming bolted splice using one line of two M20 bolts on the longer leg only (the spacing between the bolts equals 90 mm)
(b) The tensile capacity assuming bolted splice using one line of three M20 bolts on the shorter leg only (the spacing between the bolts equals 90 mm)
(a)367 kN; (b)367 kN
(a)447 kN; (b)447 kN
(a)447 kN; (b)367 kN
(a)605 kN; (b)605 kN
