A572 Grade 50 steel; E70 electrodes; 1 /4-in. fillet welds; w, = 1.5 in.
L, = 6 in. = overlap length of member end on the gusset plate
The tension member is a pair of L5 x 3 x 5/ 16 with the long legs welded to a 5/8 in. thick gusset plate. Compute the design strength for:
1) fracture of the fillet welds
2) the gusset plate (yielding on A8)
Is the design satisfactory for P, = 208 kips?
