Question: Back - to - back angles ( double angles ) are connected to a gusset plate using one line of bolts parallel to the applied

Back-to-back angles (double angles) are connected to a gusset plate using one line of bolts parallel to the applied tension force through one leg. The senior connection designer suggested using 3 bolts in 14 mm diameter holes spaced at 70 mm with an edge distance of 60 mm and an end distance of 40 mm. Calculate the block shear resistance of the back-to-back angles for the arrangement described above. The angles are both a quarter inch thick. "Show clear Steps"
