Given : Use A36M Steel for both gusset plate and plate
Fy = 250 KN
Fu = 400 KN
t= 15 mm ,Gusset Plate
t= 13 mm ,Plate
d= 20 mm ,M 20 A325M
Required : Design Strength of the Connection, Use Standard Holes, Use Threads in Shear Plane
Solution:
Rn = 1.2 Lc t Fu
Rn = 1.2(29)(13)(400)/1000
Rn = 180.960 KN < 249.6 KN
use Rn = 180.960 KN/bolt
Other holes(2,4)
Lc = s – h
Lc = 75 - 22
Lc = 53 mm
Rn = 1.2 Lc t Fu
Rn = 1.2(53)(13)(400)/1000
Rn = 330.720 > 249.6 KN
use Rn = 249.600 KN/bolt
All Holes
Rn = 2(180.96) + 2(249.6)
Rn = 861.120 KN

2. Consider Nominal Shear Strength
Ab = π/4 (20)^2
Ab = 314.159 mm2
Rn = Fnv(Ab)
Rn = 372(314.159)/1000
Rn = 116.867 KN /bolt
Use 4-Bolts
Rn = 467.469 KN
Rn = 0.35(1.13)(1)(142)(1)
Rn = 56.161 KN /bolt
Use 4-Bolts
Rn = 224.644 KN
Hole Width = 20 + 4 = 24 mm
Agv = (40+75)13
Agv = 1495.00 mm2
