Calculate the minimum main plate thickness for the joint of given Problem so that the plates, which are 7 in. wide, will have a capacity equal to the shear capacity of the 7 8 -in.-diameter A325-N high-strength bolts in standard holes. The plates are equivalent to A992 steel.
Problem
Compute the allowable tensile load for the double-shear butt joint shown. The plates are equivalent to A992 steel. The bolts are 7 8 -in. - diameter A325-N high-strength bolts in standard holes.
