Two steel plate tension members have been connected using 0.72” diameter bolts arranged in an equally-spaced four by four square formation.Total plate self-weight is specified as 912 pounds.Design of the elements adhered to the set of values that are twice as much as the minimum requirements. Both plates have a thickness equal to 1/3 in. Take shear fracture stress as 54ksi and the min required edge distance as 0.125ft. Find the maximum allowable service dead load(excluding the self-weight)and live load assuming live load is half as much as dead load including the self-weight of the plates
