Question:

A gusset plate is welded to a base plate as shown. The base plate is secured to the foundation by four bolts, each with an effective cross-sectional area of 0.2 in 2 . Before application of the 1000 lbf force, the bolts were torqued down so that a preload of 5000 lbf tension was developed in each bolt. Determine the maximum tensile stress that develops upon the application of the 1000 lbf force.
