CE3050: Basic Structural Steel

Design
July Nov 2012
Faculties: B N Rao and Arul Jayachandran
Tutorial No. 3
1. A single equal angle 100 x 100 x 8 mm is
connected to a gusset plate at the ends with
20mm diameter bolts of 8.8 grade to transfer
tension and the connection length is 150 mm.
Determine the tensile strength of the angle and
skectch the connections
100
w1=60
w=100
Yield stress of steel (fy)
= 250 MPa
Ultimate stress of steel (fu)
= 410 MPa
Bolt gauge distance (w1)
= 60 mm
2. Repeat problem 1 to find the tensile capacity
of the angle connection shown below. Assume
all relevant data.
