Tension Members Sample

This document contains two problems regarding the strength of bolted connections. Problem 1 involves determining the allowable and design strength of a plate with staggered bolts under 2001 and 2015 NSCP standards. Problem 2 involves verifying the strength of an ASTM A992 W200x31.3 tension member connected by bolts under LRFD and ASD, given dead and live loads. Calculations are shown to determine net areas, shear lag factors, and tensile capacities according to different failure modes and standards. The allowable and design strengths are compared to the applied loads.
