Problem definition Find the maximum tension load, P, that can be applied to a W8 x 24 element connected to usset plates within a truss with 3/4-in.-diameter bolts, as shown in Figure 6.9. Use A36 steel. Find the required thickness of the gusset plates so that their capacity is no smaller than hat of the W8 x 24 tension element. The bolt hole diameter = bolt diameter + ½ in. = gin. = 0.875 in.

Find the maximum tension load, P, that can be applied to a W8 x 24 element connected to
gusset plates within a truss with 3/4-in.-diameter bolts, as shown in Figure 6.9. Use A36 steel.
Find the required thickness of the gusset plates so that their capacity is no smaller than
that of the W8 x 24 tension element. The bolt hole diameter = bolt diameter + ½ in. =
% in. = 0.875 in.
