The person who makes the offer is the__________.

A 3/4 in. x 10 in. plate must resist a service dead load of 36 kips and a service live load of 50 kips in tension. The plate is connected to a gusset with six 1 in. bolts. Standard sizing is used for the bolt holes. The steel is ASTM A572 Grade 42: Fy = 42 ksi, Fu = 60 ksi. Assume that Ae = An. Using LRFD, does the plate have enough strength?

A column in a building is subjected to the following load effects. If LRFD is used, what is the required nominal strength of the column for a resistance factor φ of 0.65?6 kips compression from dead load3 kips compression from roof live load8 kips compression from snow10 kips compression from rain accumulated on the roof9 kips compression from wind

A 5/8 in. x 10 in. plate must resist a service dead load of 52 kips and a service live load of 51 kips in tension. The plate is connected to a gusset with eight 7/8 in. bolts. Standard sizing is used for the bolt holes. The steel is ASTM A572 Grade 42: Fy = 42 ksi, Fu = 60 ksi. Assume that Ae = An. Using ASD, does the plate have enough strength?

The current Steel Construction Manual incorporates both LRFD and ASD.

What is the effective hole diameter to accommodate a 1-1/4 in. bolt? Use oversize hole sizing.

The Steel Construction Manual color codes LRFD design strength values as _______.

In LRFD, the load factor for the rain load in load combination 2 is ____.

What does LRFD stand for?

A flat roof is subject to the following uniformly distributed loads: a dead load of 33 psf (pounds per square foot of roof surface), a roof live load of 13 psf, a snow load of 17 psf, and a wind load of 26 psf downward. If ASD is used, determine the required load capacity (required strength), Ra.
