Determine the number of ¾-in A325X bolts required in the angles and in the flange of W-shape column as shown, in accordance with the 2016 AISC LRFD. Assume the 2Ls being LLBB, Pu being along the centerline of 2Ls, one bolt line on 5-in angle leg, standard bolt holes on standard gauge/work lines, ⅞-in thick gusset plates (TYP), A36 steel for the angles and gusset plate and A992 steel for the column, bolt pitch = 3 in (TYP), bolt edge distance along the force line = 1½ in (TYP), and the gusset plate being structurally adequate. Investigate as per the 2016 AISC LRFD. (Note: The bolts shown in the figure are pictorial; Actual number of bolts need to be determined)
Q1) Determine the number of ¾-in A325X bolts required in the angles and in the flange of W-shape
column as shown, in accordance with the 2016 AISC LRFD. Assume the 2Ls being LLBB, Pu being
along the centerline of 2Ls, one bolt line on 5-in angle leg, standard bolt holes on standard gauge/work
lines, ⅞-in thick gusset plates (TYP), A36 steel for the angles and gusset plate and A992 steel for the
column, bolt pitch = 3 in (TYP), bolt edge distance along the force line = 1½ in (TYP), and the gusset
plate being structurally adequate. Investigate as per the 2016 AISC LRFD.
