Using both the LRFD methods, determine whether the connection shown in the figure is adequate to support the applied loads; consider the strength of the bolts in shear and bearing on the plate. The plates are ASTM A36 and the fasteners are 3/4-in-diameter ASTM A490 A325 bolts in standard holes (when threads are not excluded from shear planes). The applied factored load is Pu=60 kips (LRFD). Assume deformation at the hole at service loads is a design consideration and all high-strength bolts in a slip-critical connection with a Class A faying surface.
Using both the LRFD methods, determine whether
