Steel Structure Design - Engineering

Q1:

If N is the number of rivets in the joint, the strength of a riveted joint against shearing of rivets, is given by

A
Ps = N x (π/4) d2 x Ps

B
Ps = N x (d x t x ps)

C
Ps = N x (p - d) x t x Ps

D
Ps = N x (P + d) x t x ps.

E none of these.

ANS:A -

Ps = N x (π/4) d2 x Ps

And in double shear multiple by 2.
