CVL303B Assignment 8: Connections 1. Consider an L 127x127x7.9 steel angle used as an X-brace. The angle is connected to its support with two M20 A325M bolts on a single leg (oriented along the length of the angle) spaced at 75 mm apart. a. What is the factored shear resistance of the two bolts used in the connection? [4 marks] b. If the two bolts were replaced by two 100 mm lengths of size 6 mm fillet welds at the heel and toe of the angle, what is the factored resistance of the welds? (4 marks]
