A PL ³⁄₈x6 tension member is welded to a gusset plate (see below). The steel is A36. Assume that Ae = Ag. Compute the design strength for LRFD and the allowable strength for ASD.
a) Design strength for LRFD only
b) Allowable strength for ASD only
c) Both design strength for LRFD and allowable strength for ASD
d) Neither design strength for LRFD nor allowable strength for ASD
