Two channels are joined
together by eight 25 mm
diameter bolts in single shear
as shown in the Figure. The
bolts spacing x1 = 50mm and y1
= 60 mm. The steel .has Fy =
250 MPa and Fu = 400 Mpa.

The 2L 90mm x 90mm x 8mm
diagonal member (Ag = 2700 mm2)
at the left of the connection shown
is bolted to the 8mm thick gusset
plate.
Given: Bolt diameter = 16 mm
Bolt hole = 18 mm
Allowable shear stress of bolt = 68
MPa
Plate and angle:
Yield strength, Fy = 248 Mpa
Tensile Strength, Fu = 400 Mpa
Allowable tensile strength on gross area = 0.6 Fu Distances, s1 = 35 mm, s2=s3 = 50mm, s4 = 40 mm
Allowable tensile stress on net area = 0.5 Fu Calculate the allowable load P (kN)
Allowable shearing stress = 0.3 Fu 1. based on the shear capacity of the bolt.
Allowable bearing stress on projected area of 2. based on bolt bearing stress
bolts = 1.2 Fu 3. based on block shear of the double angle.
