Block Shear Example

The document summarizes the calculation of the design and allowable strength of a tension member connected by a gusset plate based on block shear. It provides the geometry, materials, and properties. It then calculates the effective hole diameter, gross and net shear areas, and net tension area. Using these, it determines the nominal strength based on two failure modes and applies LRFD and ASD factors to obtain the design and allowable strengths, respectively.

Problem:

The W150x24 tension member is connected as shown in the figure. All steel are A36 steel.
The bolts are A325, with threads excluded from shear planes. Compute the design and
allowable strength of the member based on block shear of the wide gusset plate.

Bolt Spacings:

s1 := 40mm s2 := 80mm s3 := 30mm


Solution
