A single-angle tension member of A36 steel must resist a dead load of 35 kips and a live load of 84 kips. The length of the member is 18 feet, and it will be connected with a single line of 1-
inch-diameter bolts, as shown in the figure below. There will be four or more bolts in this line. For the steel Fy = 36 ksi and F₁ = 58 ksi. Try the tension members given in the table below.
