Problem 1.
A plate used as a tension member is connected to a gusset plate as
shown in the Figure. The welds are 5mm fillet welds made with E70
Electrodes. The connected parts are of A36 Steel. Assume that the tensile
strength of the member is adequate, determine the ASD and LRFD
strength of the welded connection.
