So, width of bolt holes, d e = f + c = 1.00 in. From Table 6.2.1: g2(6 in.) = 2¼ in.; g 3(6 in.) = 2½ in. Using Eqs. 7.6.3 and 7.6.4, net areas for the two possible failure paths are as follows,: path a-b-c: A n1 = 9.44 - 1× 1.00 × ½ × 2 = 8.44 in.2 path a-b-d-e-f: A n2 = 9.44 - 3 × 1.00 × ½ × 2 +

× ½× 2

= 6.84 in.2

Net area, A n = min [ A n1, A n2] = min [8.44; 6.84] = 6.84 in.2 As the member force is transmitted by bolts in the long leg only, reduction factor U < 1.0. For the connection with the long leg of the angle bolted to the gusset, connection eccentricity, Length of connection, L con = 5 × 2.0 = 10.0 in. From Eq. 7.7.2, reduction coefficient,

Limit state of fracture in net section gives (Eqs. 7.4.6 and 7.7.1), T d2 = N Fu U A n = 0.75×58×0.900×6.84 = 268 kips The bolts connecting the angles to the gusset are in double shear. From Table 6.7.1, the design shear strength of a in.-dia. A325X bolt in double shear is obtained as 54.1 kips. Design strength of the connectors corresponding to the limit state of bolt shear is, C dv = N B dv = 6 × 54.1 = 325 kips From Table 6.8.1, the design bearing strength of a f -in.-dia. interior bolt (STD holes, p = 4 in., t = 1 in., Fu = 58 ksi), is read as 91.3 kips. Similarly, from Table 6.8.2, the design bearing strength of a f -in.-dia. end bolt (STD holes, L e = 2 in., t = 1 in., Fu = 58 ksi), is read as 79.9 kips. So, the design strength of the connectors corresponding to the limit sstate of bearing on e -in.-thick gusset plate is obtained as: C db = [5×91.3 + 1×79.9] (e) = 335 kips PROPRIETARY MATERIAL. © 2006 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

By adding four more bolts, in a vertical row, the revised design strength of connectors is, C d = C dv = 33.8 × 14 = 473 kips To increase T d2 , increase the bolt pitch to 4 in. Using the revised values for A n (= 10.8 in.2) and U (= 0.90), we obtain: T d2 = N Fu U A n = 0.75 × 60 × 0.90 × 10.8 = 437 kips Block shear strength A gt = 9.0 × 0.52 = 4.68 in.2 A nt = 4.68 - (2 + ½ + ½ ) × 0.52 × 1.0 + 2 ×

Steel trusses with a span of 100 ft and a pitch of 1:5 are spaced at 30 ft on centers to support the roof of an industrial building.

The height to eaves of an industrial building is 32 ft. The columns are spaced 24 ft on centers. The side wall is covered with light weight cement boards weighing 5 psf. Aluminum and glass windows, weighing 8 psf, occupy 50% of the wall area. Girts are C5×9 spaced 5 ft on centers. Design sag rods located at the ¼ points between columns (see Fig. 3.4.3). Use A36 steel and LRFDS.

P7.32.

A three hinged parabolic tied-arch has a span of 60 ft and a rise of 20 ft. It carries a uniform horizontally distributed vertical load of 3 klf. Determine the diameter of an A36 steel tie rod and select suitable clevises and turn buckle. The load given is a factored load.

Solution Structure: Three hinged parabolic tied arch. Span, L = 60 ft Rise, h = 20 ft Factored uniformly distributed vertical load, q u = 3 klf over the entire span of 60 ft Tension in the tie, T u = (q u L 2) ÷ (8 h) = (3.00 × 60.0 2) ÷ (8 × 20.0) = 67.5 kips Required area of the tie rod :

From Table 1-21 of the LRFDM, select a 1¾ in. diameter threaded rod of A36 steel having a crosssectional area, 2.41 in.2 > 2.07 in.2 O.K. (Ans.)
