1. A BOLTED MEMBER IS SHOWN.

DIAMETER OF BOLTS ARE 18mm AND THE PLATE MATERIAL IS A36 STE
Fy = 250 Mpa, Fu = 400 Mpa. DIAMETER OF THE HOLE IS 3mm BIGGER THAN BOLT.

a. DETERMINE THE TENSILE CAPACITY OF THE MEMBER BASED ON GROSS AREA

b. DETERMINE THE TENSILE CAPACITY OF THE MEMBER BASED ON THE NET AREA
c. DETERMINE THE TENSILE CAPACITY OF THE MEMBER BASED ON BLOCK SHEAR

2. DUE TO BLOCK SHEAR (same given)

GIVEN: (measurements are in mm)

t= 11 L= 75 L/2 = 37.5
h= 300 h/4 = 75 dh = 21

SOLUTION AND RESULT:

a. P = 0.60FyAg
P = 0.60(250)(328)(11)
P= 495 KN

b. P = 0.50FuAe
P = 0.50(400)(300 - 3(21))(11)
P = 521.4 KN

c. Av = (187.5-2.5(21))(2)(11)
Av = 2970 sq. mm
At = (150-2(21))(11)
At = 1188 sq. mm

P = 0.30FuAv + 0.50FuAt
P =0.30(400)(2970) + 0.50(400)(1188)
P= 594 KN

2 Av = (187.5-2.5(21))(11)
Av = 1485 sq. mm
At = (225-2.5(21))(11)
At = 1897.5 sq. mm

P = 0.30FuAv + 0.50FuAt
P =0.30(400)(1485) + 0.50(400)(1897.5)
P = 557.7 N
2. From the bolted connection shown:

1. Determine the tensile capacity based on gross area.

2. Determine the tensile capacity based on effective net are using REDUCTION FACTOR of 0.85.
3. Determine the tensile capacity of the connection based on block shear.
