How is the effective net area calculated? I have read the theory in AISC D3.2, 13th edition. I'm not sure how it applies to a double angle connection with gusset plate in between. There is a single row of bolts (3 in length).
As I understand it, Effective net area, An = Ag (gross area) - effective hole diameter (bolt dia. + 1/16 + 1/16)*member thickness + s^2/4*g
I'm not sure when to use the the s^2/4*g term. Also the spacing for the bolts is given.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
