Two framing angles ISA 150 mm × 150 mm × 15 mm are used to make beam to column connection. One angle is placed on either side of the web of the beam as shown in the figure below:
Calculate the maximum reaction (in kN) that can be transferred through the joint, if three bolts of 16 mm diameter of 4.6 grade are used to connect the angle legs to the beam web.
