The minimum Fu for A36 steel used in various structural shapes is _______.

Weld 2 is a _______ weld.

Determine the nominal strength for the following PL 7/8 x 7.5 plate of A36 steel with two holes for 5/8-inch-diameter bolts. Assume a = 2 in., b = 3.5 in., and c = 3.5 in.

If a tension connection is made with bolts, the reduction in cross-sectional area is _______ if the fasteners are arranged in a staggered pattern.

Using the Steel Construction Manual, determine the cross sectional area of a W24x62 member.

In block shear, the shear rupture stress is taken as ____ of the tensile ultimate stress.

Determine the shear lag factor U for a WT15 x 62 consisting of A992 steel with a transverse weld to its flange only.

What is the maximum suggested slenderness ratio for tension members in the AISC specification?

Determine the net area for a C10 x 25 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.

Determine the nominal block shear strength of a L8 x 8 x 1/2 consisting of A36 steel that is attached through one leg to a gusset plate with two 1-inch-diameter bolts. Assume a = 3.5 in., b = 1.75 in., and c = 6.25 in.
