A bolted connection between a vertical column and a diagonal brace is shown in the figure below. The connection consists of three 5/8-in. bolts that join two 1/4-in. end plates welded to the brace and a 5/8-in. gusset plate welded to the column. The compressive load P carried by the brace equals 8.0 kip. Determine the following quantities: a) The average shear stress tavg in the bolts, and b) the average bearing stress ơ, between the gusset plate and the bolts.

The cross section of a narrow-gage railway bridge is shown in part a of the figure. The bridge is constructed with longitudinal steel grinders that support the wood cross ties. The bridge is constructed with longitudinal steel girders that support the wood cross ties. The girders are restrained against lateral buckling by diagonal bracing, as indicated by the dashed lines. The spacing of the girders is S1= 50 in. and the spacing of the rails is s2= 30 in. The load transmitted by each rail to a single tie is P = 1500 1b. The cross section of a tie, shown in part b of the figure, has a width b =5.0 in. and depth d. Determine the minimum value of d based upon an allowable bending stress of 1125 psi in the wood tie. (Disregard the weight of the tie itself.)
