Example 3-2
Determine the critical net area of the 1/2-in-thick plate shown
in Fig. 3.5, using the
AISC Specification (Section B4.3b). The holes are punched for
3/4-in bolts.
Solution. The critical section could possibly be ABCD, ABCEF, or ABEF.

The reader should note that it is a waste of time to check path
ABEF for this plate.Two
holes need to be subtracted for routes ABCD and ABEF. As
ABCD is a shorter route,
it obviously controls over ABEF.

Example 3-3
For the two lines of bolt holes shown in Fig. 3.6, determine the pitch
that will give a net
area DEFG equal to the one along ABC. The problem may also be stated
as follows:
Determine the pitch that will give a net area equal to the gross area
less one bolt hole
