Final answer:
The available strength of a c8x11.5 attached through the web to a gusset plate with ten 3/4 in bolts cannot be determined without knowing the total tension force. Please provide the total tension force.
Step-by-step explanation:
The available strength of a c8x11.5 attached through the web to a gusset plate with ten 3/4 in bolts, in two lines of five bolts, at a 3 in. spacing can be determined by considering the strength of the connections. Each bolt can withstand a certain tension force before failure. Assuming the bolts are evenly distributed, we can divide the total tension force by the number of bolts to find the available strength per bolt. Let's calculate this:
Total tension force = (number of bolts) x (tension per bolt)
Since there are ten 3/4 in bolts, we can calculate the available strength as follows:
Total tension force = (10 bolts) x (tension per bolt)
To find the tension per bolt, we need to determine the total tension force. Unfortunately, the information provided does not specify the total tension force, so we are unable to calculate the available strength. Please provide the total tension force so we can help you determine the available strength of the connection.
