Compute and tabulate the working forces for a pitch length of 125 mm for the doubleriveted butt joint of Fig. 1 for the assumed methods of failure that follow. Also, find the efficiency of the joint. (a) Tension at section A–A. (b) Shear in the rivets, (c) Bearing on the rivets, (d) Tension at B–B and shear at A–A. (e) Tension at section B–B and bearing at A–A. (f) Tension in gross plate. Ultimate strength of the steel plate in tension is 380 MPa, and in compression, 655 MPa. Ultimate shear strength for rivets is 300 MPa. Use a factor of safety of 5.
