Check areas: (since their strengths are the same this will check which section
governs in block shear design)
Angles
Shear areas: Both Angles: (double the area)
Agv = 5.125 in2 Agv = 10.25 in2
Anv = 3.59 in2 Anv = 7.1875 in2
Tension areas:
Agt = 0.75 in2 Agt = 1.5 in2
Ant = 0.53 in2 Ant = 1.0625 in2
Gusset Plate
Shear areas:
Agv = 5.375 in2
Anv = 3.84 in2
Tension areas:
Agt = 1.00 in2
Ant = 0.78 in2
The gusset plate will govern the design because it has less area than the angles.
Pu = Vuc = 30 k
from LRFD table J2.4 the minimum weld size required is : 4 sixteenths
