Using the Steel Construction Manual, determine the cross sectional area of a W16x57 member.

Determine the net area for an MC13 x 40 with four lines of 7/8-inch-diameter bolts. Each flange will contain one line of bolts, and the web will contain two lines of bolts. The bolts are not staggered.

When calculating U = 1 – x/L for a connection that has weld segments of different lengths in the direction of the load, the L is the length of the shortest segment.

Determine the shear lag factor U for a PL 1/2 x 7 consisting of A36 steel with two longitudinal welds of length L = 6 in.

When calculating U = 1 – x/L for a connection with a single weld, the L is measured from one end of the weld to the other.

Determine the shear lag factor U for a WT15 x 62 consisting of A992 steel with two longitudinal welds of length L = 7 in. to its flange only.

Determine the nominal strength for the following PL 7/16 x 12 plate of A36 steel with two holes for 5/8-inch-diameter bolts. Assume a = 2.5 in., b = 5 in., and c = 2 in.

Determine the net area for an MC12 x 35 with four lines of 5/8-inch-diameter bolts. Each flange will contain one line of bolts, and the web will contain two lines of bolts. The bolts are not staggered.

Determine the net area for an MC12 x 35 with five lines of 5/8-inch-diameter bolts. Each flange will contain one line of bolts, and the web will contain three lines of bolts. The bolts are not staggered.

Undesirable vibrations can occur in tension members that are excessively slender.
