1. The document discusses the methods to calculate the tensile strength of a gusset plate connection, including yielding on the gross area, fracture at the net area, and block shear failure. 2. It provides an example calculation for a gusset plate with given dimensions and materials. The tensile strength is calculated as 445.5 kN for yielding, 504.9 kN for fracture, and 490.68 kN for block shear. 3. A summary is given showing the strengths calculated for the bolted connection using different limit states like slip resistance and bearing failure are also included for reference. The governing strength is reported as 393.9 kN based on fracture of the effective area.
