Question: Two WT 5 x 1 6 . 5 sections made of A 9 9 2 Steel are used as a tension member to support a

Two WT5x16.5 sections made of A992 Steel are used as a tension member to support a dead load
of 50 k and a live load of 90 k . The WT sections are bolted to a gusset plate using two gage lines
of 34" diameter A490bolts as shown below. Assume the gusset plate is properly sized.
+1|
Considering only the Block Shear Rupture and Bearing Capacity Limit States:
Determine the controlling design tensile strength (for just BSR and BC)
Determine whether this design tensile strength is sufficient to carry the required strength
Sketch what the WT sections look like at failure according to your result from (1).
