A plate is used as a bracket and is attached to a column flange as

shown in Figure P8.2-5. Use an elastic analysis and compute the

maximum bolt shear force.
 Direct shear components:

Pcx = Pcy =

Pcx = 3 kips← Pcy = 6 kips↓

Determine location of centroid with

respect to lower right bold:

(2(3))/5 =1.2 in.

ӯ = 3 in.

Eccentricity:

ex = 1.2 + 4 = 5.2 in. M = 30(5.2)-15(5) =

ey = 3 + 2 = 5.0 in.

Σ(x +y ) =
2 2 3(1.2)2 + 2(1.8)2 + 4(3)2 = 46.8 in.²
