2-5, Compute the tensile capacity for the connection shown. (Neglect bolt shear and bearing on the plates.) The bolts are -in-diameter, and the steel is A36. plate Pt 1\"plate i 3- \"plate 1) 1 12 2\" PROBLEM 2-5

Solution

Yield strength of A36 steel = 36000 psi

Size of hole in plate = (7/8) + (1/8) = 1 in (1/8 in for clearance)

Bolt shear and bearing is neglected

Pt = Ft * Net area  

Net area of the thinner plate is taken ( 3/8 in plate is thinner than the (1/2 +1/2 in ) plate )

Pt = 36000 * (12 - 3*1)* (3/8) =121500 lb

Pt = 121500 lb
