4. Determine the design strength of the tension member and connection system shown below. The tension member is a 4 in. x 3/8 in. thick rectangular bar. It is welded to a 1/2 in. thick gusset plate using Epoxx electrode. Consider the yielding and fracture of the tension member. Consider the shear strength of the weld metal and the surrounding base metal. t=0.5 in. a = 0.25 in. 4 in x 3/8 in. 5 in. 0.5 in. 1 0.5 in. 5 in.
