Design a tension member and slip-critical splice to carry a factored load of 500 kips. Please use a wide-flange section for the tension member. Please use A572 Gr. 50 steel plates for the splice plates. Please use Group B, A490 bolts for the splice connection. The splice connection should be slip-critical, and have adequate strength after slip occurs as well. Please make any other assumptions you need in order to complete the problem. Provide detailed sketches and drawings for your design.

Kindly check the explanation section.

Explanation:

For the design we are asked for in this question/problem there is the need for us to calculate or determine the strength in fracture and that of the yield. Also, we need to calculate for the block shear strength.

From the question, we have that the factored load = 500kips. Also, note that the tension splice must not slip.

Also, the shear force are resisted by friction, that is to say shear resistance = 1.13 × Tb × Ns.

Assuming our db = 3/4 inches, then the slip critical resistance to shear service load = 18ksi(refer to AISC manual for the table).

If db = 7/8 inches, then the shear force resistance for n bolt = 10.2kips, n > 49.6.

The yielding strength = 0.9 × Aj × Fhb= 736 kips > 500

The fracture strength = .75 × Ah × Fhb = 309 kips.

The bearing strength of 7/8 inches bolt at the edge hole and other holes = 46 kips and 102 kips.

when a device is used in a circuit in which the voltage is 81 v, the current flowing through the device is 3 a. what is the resistance of the device?

a. 27 ω

b. 40.5 a

c. 243 ω

d. 243 a

the correct answer is a. 27
