Lecture 4

This document summarizes the process to determine the critical net area for a C15 x 33.9 section with staggered holes for 3/4-in bolts. It examines possible fracture lines that could occur through two, three, and four holes. The critical net area is calculated for each case and found to be the minimum value of 8.72647 square inches along the fracture line through holes A, B, E, and F.
