A single-angle tension member, an L 3 1./2 x 3 ! x 3/8, is
connected toa gusset plate with 7/8-inch-diameter bolts. A36 steel
is used. The
service loads are 35kips dead load and 15kips live load.
Investigate thismember for compliance with the NSCP Specification.
Assume theeffective net area is 85% of the computed net area.
a. Use LRFD
b.
Use ASD
