When calculating the net area of a bolted connection, how much should be added to the hole diameter to account for the damage caused by punching the bolt holes?

A 0.73 in. x 5.6 in. plate is connected to a gusset with four 1-1/2 in. bolts. Standard sizing is used for the bolt holes. What is the gross area of the plate?

A flat roof is subject to the following uniformly distributed loads: a dead load of 30 psf (pounds per square foot of roof surface), a roof live load of 15 psf, a snow load of 17 psf, and a wind load of 17 psf downward. If ASD is used, what is the required nominal strength of the member for a safety factor Ω of 1.25?

A flat roof is subject to the following uniformly distributed loads: a dead load of 32 psf (pounds per square foot of roof surface), a roof live load of 13 psf, a snow load of 12 psf, and a wind load of 17 psf downward. If ASD is used, what is the required nominal strength of the member for a safety factor Ω of 1.45?

Building codes are legal documents containing safety requirements. ASCE 7 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures is a building code.

Solve for V2: 760 torr    x     1.50 L     =      2500 torr   x  V2

A 0.57 in. x 5.0 in. plate is connected to a gusset with four 5/8 in. bolts. Standard sizing is used for the bolt holes. What is the net area of the plate?

The equation “allowable strength = nominal strength / safety factor” is related to _______.
