Question
18.3 Two plates are spliced together with 3/4-in.-diameter A325-X bolts by a butt splice as shown. Determine the tensile capacity of the splice if there are three bolts in a cross section and the member is made of A36 steel. The width, thickness, and total number of bolts on each side of the splice are as follows: a. w = 12 in., t = 3/4 in., N = 9. b. w= 8 in., t = 5/8 in., N = 6.
