Chapter 7 Problem 1. Two W14x38 tension members are connected with a splice connection using plates attached at the top and the bottom flanges. The design axial load P₁ is 320 kips. The bolts are made of A325X, and the bolt diameter is ½ inch. (a) Identify how many bolts are needed for the splice connection using the shear strength of bolts. (b) Place the bolts (draw both top view and side view of one flange) and determine the required splice connection length, Lplate, with the thickness of ¾ inch. Lplate Pu

Use an elastic analysis and determine the maximum load per inch of weld.
Use load and resistance factor design and select a W shape with a nominal depth of 10 inches (a W 10) to resist a dead load of 175 kips and a live load of 175 kips. The connection will be through the flanges with two lines of 11 4 -inch-diameter bolts in each flange, as shown in Figure P3.6-6. Each line contains more than two bolts. The length of the member is 30 feet. Use A588 steal.
Select an American Standard Channel shape for the following tensile loads: dead load = 54 kips, live load = 80 kips, and wind load = 75 kips. The connection will be with longitudinal welds. Use an estimated shear lag factor of U = 0.85. (In a practical design, once the member was selected and the connection designed, the value of U would be computed and the member design could be revised if necessary.) The length is 17.5 ft. Use Fy=50 ksi and Fu=65 ksi. a. Use LRFD. b. Use ASD.
Determine the adequacy of the hanger connection in Figure P7.8-2 Account for prying action. a. Use LRFD. b. Use ASD.
a. Use LRFD and design a welded connection for the bracket shown in Figure P8.4-19. All structural steel is A36. The horizontal 10-inch dimension is a maximum. b. State why you think your weld size and configuration are best.
