Calculate the maximum allowable load (in KN) of a 5.0m long sawn lumber column can carry. The nominal size is 152.4 x 152.4 mm (6”x6”) and the actual size is 139.7mm x 139.7mm (5.5” x 5.5”). The applied loading is for 15-year duration and the wood used is visually graded sawn square Narra (E= 11.721 GPA, Fc = 10.342 MPa). The column is pinned both ends. Consider adjustments for load duration and moisture condition.

This is I'm uploading second time. Read the question carefully and give me right solution according to the question. If you don't know the solution please leave it but don't give me wrong solution. The given wood joint is made from an Apitong lumber (Species Group II). It is supported with 4 bolts. Determine minimum capacity of one bolt and minimum diameter of the bolts if it is subjected to P=15kN and angle = 22 degrees. Both members have thickness of 75 mm and consider single shear.
