Two steel plate tension members have been connected using 0.72” diameter bolts arranged in an equally-spaced four by four square formation.Total plate self-weight is specified as 912 pounds.Design of the elements adhered to the set of values that are twice as much as the minimum requirements. Both plates have a thickness equal to 1/3 in. Take shear fracture stress as 54ksi and the min required edge distance as 0.125ft. a)Sketch the connection showing all the details and measurements with units. b)Find the maximum allowable service dead load(excluding the self-weight)and live load assuming live load is half as much as dead load including the self-weight of the plates

Question

Two steel plate tension members have been connected using 0.72” diameter bolts arranged in an equally-spaced four by four square formation.Total plate self-weight is specified as 912 pounds.Design of the elements adhered to the set of values that are twice as much as the minimum requirements. Both plates have a thickness equal to 1/3 in. Take shear fracture stress as 54ksi and the min required edge distance as 0.125ft.

a)Sketch the connection showing all the details and measurements with units.

b)Find the maximum allowable service dead load(excluding the self-weight)and live load assuming live load is half as much as dead load including the self-weight of the plates.
