Four forces are applied to the machine component ABDE as shown. Replace these forces with an equivalent force-couple system at 4.

Use an elastic analysis and determine the maximum load in the weld (in kips per inch of length).

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.
