SITUATION. A hollow steel strut is pin connected to two gusset plates. The gusset plates are then welded to a 12 mm thick base plate which is fastened to a concrete base with 4 anchor bolts. The strut carries an axial compressive load of 48 kN at a 30-degree angle with the horizontal. If the allowable shearing stress in the pin is 120 MPa, shearing stress in the anchor bolts is 52 MPa, bearing stress between the strut and pin is 150 MPa, and the bearing stress between the anchor bolt and the base plate is 117 MPa, determine the following 1) Required diameter of the pin 2) Required thickness of the strut 3) Required diameter of the anchor bolts 4) Required thickness of the gusset plate 48kN Steel Strut Give your answers in mm, in whole numbers.
