    The document is an engineering assignment calculating the design strength and allowable strength of a PL 1⁄2 x 8 tension member connected with six 25 mm diameter bolts under LRFD and ASD design methods. It provides the following calculations: 1) The design strength for LRFD is 672.9984 KN based on fracture of the net section. 2) The allowable strength for ASD is 448.67 KN based on fracture of the gross section. 3) It includes calculations for the nominal strength based on yielding and fracture, and applies resistance factors and safety factors to determine the design and allowable strengths.

    ASSIGNMENT NO. 2

    A PL ½ x 8 tension member is connected with six 25 mm diameter bolts, as shown in


    the figure. The steel is ASTM A242. Assume that Ae = An and compute the following in
    SI unit:
    a.) The design strength for LRFD.
    b.) The allowable strength for ASD.

    Solution:
    For yielding of the gross section
    Ag=(8in.)(1/2in.)(25.4mm/1in)2 = 2580.64 mm2
    Nominal strength
    Pn= FyAg = (340 MPa)(2580.64mm2) = 877.4176 KN

    For fracture of the net section


    An=(Ag - Aholes) = 2580.64 – (12.7)(25 + 3)(2) = 1869.44 mm2
    Ae = An = 1869.44 mm2
    Nominal Strength
    Pn = FuAe = (480MPa)( 1869.44 mm2 )
    Pn = 897.3312 KN

    a.) The design strength for LRFD


    Based on yielding
    ΦtPn = 0.90(877.4176) = 789.67584 KN

    Based on fracture
    ΦtPn = 0.75(897.3312) = 672.9984 KN

    Ans: ΦtPn = 672.9984 KN

    b.) The allowable strength for ASD

    Based on yielding
    Pn/ Ωt = (877.4176)/(1.67) = 525.40 KN
    Based on fracture
    Pn/ Ωt = (897.3312)/(2.0) = 448.67 KN

    Ans: Pn/ Ωt = 448.67 KN
