3. The block shear consideration involves four “blocks” as shown in Fig. 2.10, two in
each flange.
𝑃𝑃𝑡𝑡 = 𝐴𝐴𝑣𝑣 𝐹𝐹𝑣𝑣 + 𝐴𝐴𝑡𝑡 𝐹𝐹𝑡𝑡 = 𝐴𝐴𝑣𝑣 (0.30𝐹𝐹𝑢𝑢 ) + 𝐴𝐴𝑡𝑡 (0.50𝐹𝐹𝑢𝑢 )

𝐴𝐴𝑡𝑡 = 4(0.4) [1.5 − ] = 1.6 in.2

Therefore,
For this member, Pt = 143.0 kips as controlled by a rupture failure based on the least net
area.
