Question: The butt connection shows 8 - 2 2 m m O A 3 2 5 bolts spaced as follows: S 1 = 4 0 m

The butt connection shows 8-22mmOA325 bolts spaced as follows:
S1=40mm,S2=80mm,S3=50mm,S4=100mm
Thickness of plates (top and bottom)t1=16mm
Thickness of plate (middle)t2=12mm
Fy=248MPa,Fu=400MPa
Allowable tensile stress on gross area =0.6Fy
Allowable tensile stress on net area =0.5Fu
Bearing stress on projected area, Fp=1.5Fu
Allowable bolt shear stress, Fv=120MPa
Assume the hole diameter is 3mm more than the bolt diameter
Calculate the allowable tensile load base on:
a. Gross area of the plate
b. Net area of the plate
c. bolt shear
d. bearing on the projected area on plate
e. Block shear
The butt connection shows 8 - 2 2 m m O A 3 2 5
