a) Make a sketch of your arrangement of EQUALLY SPACED bolts that approximately provides the desired fixed value for the nominal bearing strength mentioned above. You can place your arrangement of bolts on the connection provided below. (It is empty now, so you should fill it in with your bolt arrangement). b) Garden City Designs wants to design the connection at a low cost so they only want the minimum requirements for the distances and clearances in their connection design. Assuming that each bolt has a diameter of 0.7c inches, and that all edge distances are equal and at least 1.2e inches according to the minimum edge distance requirements, show and label the spacing and edge distance values on your sketch from part (a). c) Calculate the shear area if the thickness of the connected part controlling the design is 0.5finches. IMPORTANT: SELECT THE INPUT DATA AS DIRECTED BELOW: Using your 7-digit Student ID, abcdefg (letters represent the digits), choose the input data as follows: For example, if your digit e=2, a=1, b=3, le.ab means 12.13
