1.051 Structural Engineering Design Problem Set 5 Tension Members 1. Effective Net Area

This document contains instructions for problem set 5 assigned in the structural engineering design course taught by Prof. O. Buyukozturk in fall 2003. It includes 3 problems related to determining the effective net area and tensile/block shear strength of members: 1) calculating the effective net area of an MC12x31 member with bolt holes, 2) comparing the block shear and tensile strength of a bolted 7x4x3/8 angle member, and 3) computing the tensile and block shear strength of a welded 6x6x1/2 angle member made of steel with Fy=50 ksi and Fu=65 ksi. Diagrams are provided for each problem.

1.051 Structural Engineering Design Prof O.

Buyukozturk Fall 2003

1.051 Structural Engineering Design Problem Set 5 (Assigned: 11/19; Due: 11/26) TENSION MEMBERS 1. Effective Net Area Determine the effective net area of the MC12x31 shown in Fig. 1. Assume the holes are for 1-in bolts.

Figure 1 2. Tensile and Block Shear Strength of Bolted Members The 7x4x3/8 angle shown in Fig. 2 is connected with three 1-in bolts. If the angle consists of A36 steel, determine its block shear strength. Compare the results with the tensile design strength of the member.

3. Tensile and Block Shear Strength of Welded Members Compute the tensile design strength of the 6x6x1/2 angle shown in Fig. 3 if it consists of a steel with Fy=50 ksi and Fu=65 ksi. Consider block shear as well as the tensile strength of the angle.
