A plate with width of 300mm and thickness of 20mm is to be connected to two plates of the same width with half the thickness by 25mm diameter rivets, as shown. The rivet holes have a diameter 2mm larger than the rivet diameter. The plate is A36 steel with yield strength Fy=248 MPa, allowable tensile stress of 0.60Fy and allowable bearing stress of 1.35Fy. The rivets are A502, Grade2, hot-driven rivets with allowable shear stress of 150 MPa. a. Determine the maximum load, in KN that can be applied to the connection without exceeding the allowable tensile stress in the plates. b. Determine the maximum load, in KN that can be applied to the connection without exceeding the allowable shear stress in the rivets. c. Determine the maximum load, in KN that can be applied to the connection without exceeding the allowable bearing stress between the plate and the rivets.

Allowable shearing stress for the rivets is 70 MPa, allowable tensile stress on net area of the plates is 100 MPa, and the allowable bearing stress on contact area between the rivet and the plate is 140MPa. a. Determine the maximum value of P such that the allowable shearing stress in the rivets will not be exceeded. b.
