Question: Problem 2 A double angle 2 L 7 4 5 8 is connected to a 7 8 - in gusset plate as shown in the

Problem 2
A double angle 2L7458 is connected to a 78-in gusset plate as shown in the figure below. The applied loads are such that the ratio of Dead Load to Live Load is 4.5. The bolts are 7/8-inch-diameter Group A with threads in the shear plane. Material: The angles is made up of A572 Grade 50 Steel and the gusset plate is made up of A36 Steel. Note: The spacing of the bolt rows is as per "Workable Gages in Angle Legs (see Table 1-7A: p1-52). For the connections the surfaces were prepared to Class B surface classification, i.e. coefficient of friction of 0.5 could be attained. Based on this information answer the following question.
Question 2.13: By identifying the controlling design strength from the above values AND D/L =4.5 as presented in the problem what is the permissible SERVICE Load that can be applied without violating LRFD Specifications for both the angles and the connection? [Enter in kips]
