???????
A 12'-o" long W14x22 beam is subject to a uniform distributed load. The end of the beam is detailed for a bolted connection as shown in Figure 4 . The holes are standard for 1" diameter A325 bolts. Find: 1. The LRFD design strength of the beam end considering block shear only. 2. Given the design strength, find the maximum factored distributed load \( w_{u} \) that can be carried by the beam. Figure 4: End of a W14x22 beam detailed for a bolted connection. Hint: Draw the beam with a distributed load \( w_{u} \) and corresponding reactions. Which way do the reaction arrows point?
