A member of a steel roof truss consists of two angles ISA 75 x 75x 6 mm placed back-to-back on either side of 8 mm thick gusset plate. The member carries an ultimate tensile load of 150 kN. Determine the number of 16 mm dia. 4.6 grade ordinary bolts required for the joint. Assume fu of plate as 410 MPa.
Design a tension member to carry a factored load of 230 kN. Use single unequal angle with 4 mm fillet weld for the connection to gusset plate. Length of member is 3.0 m. Take fy = 250 MPa and fu = 410 MPa
