A WT7x21.5 shape made from A36 steel will be bolted through its flange to a gusset plate using two rows of standard A325X 1 inch bolts. Determine the LRFD available strength, φRn, for gross tension yield of the WT shape. How many bolts per row are required for the LRFD available bolt shear strength of the connection to exceed the LRFD available strength for gross tension yeild of the WT (Problem 1). There are two rows of bolts along the direction of loading. Based on the number of bolts, which affects the connection length, compute the LRFD available strength, φRn, for tensile rupture of the WT shape. Assume the bolts in each row are spaced s=3 inch on center. Do not check bolt bearing limit states.
