PROJECT: STEEL BUILDING DESIGN CASE STUDY

SUBJECT: Tension member design. Bolted connection.
SHEET 101 of 131
Connection for a 38.3 foot long tension member that has to resist 78 kips of already factored load.
No slip is permitted, so this connection is slip critical.
t = resistance factor relating to tensile strength
Ag = gross cross-sectional area
Ae = U*An
U = reduction coefficient
Fy = specified (ASTM) minimum yield stress
Fu = specified (ASTM) minimum tensile strength
d = diameter of the bolt
An = net area
Rn = strength
Rstr = slip critical strength
Lc = distance from edge of hole to edge of connected part
t = thickness of connected part
Ab = nominal bolt area
Pu = factored load to be resisted
Fv = ultimate shearing strength
= mean slip coefficient (coefficient of static friction)
Tb = minimum fastener tension
Agv = gross area acted upon by shear
Agt = gross area acted upon by tension
Anv = net area acted upon by shear
Ant = net area acted upon by tension

Because the bolt size and layout will affect the net area of the tension member, we will begin with
the selection of the bolts. Use A325 bolts and A572 Grade 36 steel for both the tension member and
the gusset plate (standard holes).
