Two steel plate tension members have been connected using 0.72 inch diameter bolts arranged in an equally-spaced 9 by 3 rectangular formation. Both plates have a thickness equal to 1/3 in. Take shear fracture stress as 51.2 ksi, clear distance for each edge bolt as 0.12 in, and the clear distance for the other bolts as 1.072 in. a)Sketch the connection showing all the details and measurements with units. b)Find the maximum allowable service dead load and live load assuming live load is half as much as dead load. Consider ASD.
