Determine the maximum allowable tensile load Tu (25% dead load and 75% live load) for a single C15x33.9 fastened to a 1/2-inch gusset plate as shown below. Use A572 gr. 50 steel for both the channel and the gusset plate. Assume the bolts have a 3/4-inch diameter. Check all applicable yielding, fracture and block-shear failure modes.

Select a pair of A572 Gr. 50 angles to support a tensile dead load of 48 kips and live load of 32 kips and has a length of 24 feet. Assume the angles are back-to-back and separated by a 3/8-inch gusset plate. Assume the angles are welded to the gusset plate by both longitudinal and transverse welds. Make sure the slenderness ratio does not exceed 300.
