Horizontal members subjected primarily to bending are called _______.

A column in a building is subjected to the following load effects. If ASD is used, what is the required nominal strength of the column for a safety factor Ω of 1.50?9 kips compression from dead load6 kips compression from roof live load7 kips compression from snow4 kips compression from rain accumulated on the roof7 kips compression from wind

In LRFD, the required strength must be less than or equal to the nominal strength multiplied by a _______.

What is the effective hole diameter to accommodate a 1-1/2 in. bolt? Use oversize hole sizing.

A 3/8 in. x 11.0 in. plate is connected to a gusset with eight 3/4 in. bolts. Standard sizing is used for the bolt holes. The steel is ASTM A36: Fy = 36 ksi, Fu = 58 ksi. Assume that Ae = An. Compute the allowable strength for ASD.

The presence of holes in a member will influence the stress at a cross section through the holes.

For ASD, the safety factor for yielding is larger than the safety factor for fracture.

Download the Starter Code: lab0.h Download the specification: Lab0.pdf In future labs, the above files will be all you receive. However, for this introductory lab, we’re providing some extra files below as well: Example main testing program: main.c Example (incomplete) implementation file: lab0.c When you are done implementing the lab0.c file, upload it here and submit the assignment!

A 0.85 in. x 11.1 in. plate is connected to a gusset with eight 7/8 in. bolts. Standard sizing is used for the bolt holes. What is the net area of the plate?

A column in a building is subjected to the following load effects. If ASD is used, what is the required nominal strength of the column for a safety factor Ω of 1.60?11 kips compression from dead load7 kips compression from roof live load7 kips compression from snow8 kips compression from wind
