Consider the drawing Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown below. The drawing in Fig. 2 shows a tension
element with a bolted connection to a 25mm thick gusset plate. The gusset plate is welded to
an end plate with E70XX welding electrodes. Assume a fix connection at the bottom of the
columns to the ground and at the connection of roof truss to the columns. Use the information
above and answer the following:
2.1. Determine the tensile capacity of the angles. Only consider the dominant load
combination.
2.2. Determine if the connection can resist the tensile force due to the loads applied by a
combination of imposed loads, permanent loads and wind loads that were calculated in
project 1.
2.3. Determine the tensile capacity of the gusset plate.
