Problem 128 page 21
Given:
Shape of beam = W18 86
Shape of girder = W24 117
Shape of angles = 4 3- 3/8
Diameter of rivets = 7/8 inch
Allowable shear stress = 15 ksi
Allowable bearing stress = 32 ksi
Required: Allowable load on the connection

Shearing strength of rivets:

There are 8 single-shear rivets in the girder and 4 double-shear (equivalent to 8 single-shear) in the beam, thus, the shear strength of rivets in
girder and beam are equal.

Bearing strength on the girder:

The thickness of girder W24 117 is 0.550 inch while that of the angle clip
the clip.

is or 0.375 inch, thus, the critical in bearing is

Bearing strength on the beam:

The thickness of beam W18 86 is 0.480 inch while that of the clip angle is 2 0.375 = 0.75 inch (clip angles are on both sides of the beam),
thus, the critical in bearing is the beam.

The allowable load on the connection is
