Problem # $1$: Figure below shows a tension member made of $L44\frac{3}{8}$ connected to gusset plate through $\frac{7}{8}$ in$.$ diameter bolts. Given that angle section is made of ASTM A$572$ Grade $50$ steel and using the method demonstrated in class lectures, determine: $($a$)$ gross yield strength $($b$)$ net fracture strength $($c$)$ block shear strength and $($d$)$ compare the three limit states and designate the LRFD design strength of the tension member. Clearly show the block you considered for the block shear strength.
