Question: Determine the following for the connection shown in Figure 4-26, assuming the bolts are 0.75 in. diameter and the angle and plate are ASTM A36.

Determine the following for the connection shown in Figure 4-26, assuming the bolts are 0.75 in. diameter and the angle and plate are ASTM A36. Again, ignore block shear and there is no need to check the bolt related limit states. 

a. Tensile capacity of the angle 

b. Required gusset plate thickness to develop the tensile capacity of the angle determined in part a. Note: In this case, you can analyze the gusset plate as a tension member.
