Consider the tension member shown below. The channel is made of ASTM A572 (Fy = 50 ksi; Fu = 65 ksi), and is connected to a 3/8-inch thick gusset plate made of ASTM A36 steel (Fy = 36 ksi; Fu = 58 ksi). The bolts are 7/8 inch in diameter, made of ASTM A307 bolts. The bolted connection is bearing-type. (a) Check if the given connection follows the code provisions on spacing and edge distance limits. (b) Determine the maximum allowable service tensile load that the member is allowed to carry. Consider all applicable limit states for tension member and connection. Consider only block shear and bearing limit
