Hi,
A tension member - a rectangular plate of dimension 1/2"*8" connected with two rows of bolts, determine the bolt size so that the tension member fails in rupture but not yield. Steel of grade A36 grade is used.
It must be kept in mind that the capacity factors are different for the rupture and yield, its lower for finding the rupture capacity, the section where bolts are inserted into the member are considered critical. Solution is written in the image shown below.
