Problem $1$: A double$-$angle tension member, $2$ L $53-\frac{1}{2}\frac{5}{8}$ LLBB$,$ is connected to a $\frac{3}{4}-$in$.$ thick gusset plate with $\frac{7}{8}-$in$.$ diameter, A$325-$N bolts as shown in Figure $1.$ Both the tension member and the gusset plate are A$36$ steel.

$($A$)$ Check if bolt spacing and edge distance meet the AISC requirements.

$($B$)$ Calculate the design tensile strength of the tension member based on YLS and RLS$.$ Assume block shear will not govern and the gusset plate has a sufficient tensile strength.

$($C$)$ Check if the bolted connection shown has a sufficient strength to transmit the design tensile strength calculated in $($B$).$ If not, how many bolts are needed?

$($D$)$ The tension member is $24ft$ long. If needed, specify the number of stitch connections.
