Problem Statement: A double channel tension member $($ASTM A$36)$ is supported from above by a wide flange beam $($ASTM A$992).$ The connection between the tension member and the beam is made with a short length of a WT shape $($ASTM A$992).$

Determine the design strength of the double channel tension member and WT considering only the limit states of tensile yielding in the gross section and tensile rupture in the net section.

Solution: Follow the steps.
