The document provides 7 situations involving the design and analysis of bolted connections and tension members. Situation 1 involves determining the tensile capacity of a lapped joint based on gross area, net area, and block shear strength. Situation 2 involves calculating the shear, bearing, and tearing capacities of a bolted angle connection. Situation 3 asks to determine the safe tensile load of a bolted plate connection. Situations 4-6 provide additional design calculations. Situation 7 asks to list potential failure modes of bolted/riveted tension member connections. The document tests knowledge of formulas and calculations for bolted connection and tension member design according to ASD and LRFD specifications.
