Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:-

The plate is 34 in × 15 inDiameter of bolt=78 in

Civil Engineering homework question answer, step 1, image 1

To find:-

Gross area and net area

Concept:-

The nominal diameter of the hole (dh) is equal to the bolt diameter (d) + 1/16 in.

However, the bolt hole fabrication process damages additional material around the hole diameter.

Assume that the material damage extends 1/16 in. around the hole diameter.

Therefore, for calculating the net section area, assume that the gross area is reduced by a hole diameter equal to the nominal hole diameter + 1/16 in.
