Example 1 - Calculating design strength using LRFD and allowable strength using ASD for plate in tension

A 1/2" x 5" plate of A992 steel is used as a tension member. Its is connected to a gusset plate with four (5/8)" diameter bolts as shown in the figure.

Assume the effective net area (Ae) equals the net area (An):
A. Calculate the design strength using LRFD
B. Calculate the design strength using ASD
