A36 steel; 3/4-in.-diameter A490X bolts

s = 3 in. g = 3 in. L, = 1.75 in.

A pair of 10 x 3/8 connector plates is used to butt splice the tension member which is a 10 x 3/4 plate. Compute the design strength for:

1. Bolt shear

2. Bearing at the bolt holes

3. The splice plates (yielding on As; fracture on A, for each path with full P, on it )

Is the design satisfactory for P, = 240 kips?
