A36 steel; 3/4-in.-diameter A325N bolts

s = 3 in. g = 3 in.

A pair of 10 x 3/8 connector plates is used to butt splice the tension member that is a 10 x 3/4 plate. For the member, compute the design strength due to:

L, = 1.75 in.

1. Yielding on A,

2. Fracture on A,

3. Block shear rupture

Is the design satisfactory for P, = 240 kips?
