The spliced joint of the bottom chord in a bridge truss shown in the figure below is connected with 19 mm diameter bolts in standard holes. The plate material is A36 (Fy = 248 MPa, Fu = 400 MPa) steel. Assuming that the bolts are satisfactory and that block shear does not govern, determine the available tensile strength of the plates. a) LRFD b) ASD 64 mm 64 mm 64 mm 64 mm 76 mm 76 mm 305 mm 76 mm 8 mm plate 12mmplate
