Select a double-angle tension member and design a welded connection to resist a dead load of 12 kips and a live load of 36 kips. The member will be 16 feet long and will be connected to a 5/8-inch-thick gusset plate. Use A36 steel for both the tension member and the gusset plate. Show your results on a sketch, complete with dimensions.
