Bottom chord of truss is composed of two angle bars each having a dimension of 144 mm x 60 mm x 6.2 mm. Between them is a gusset plate, 9.5mm thick. At each end of joints, four 19mm-dia. bolts are fastened along the gage line, having an edge distance of 45 mm and 55.5mm pitch. Use A36 steel Fy = 248 MPa Fu = 400 MPa spacing of bolt = 57.9 mm ♡ V S S S pitch 9.5mm thick gusset plate edge dist Compute the capacity of the bottom chord based on block shear strength, in KN.
