Allowable Stress
Problem 1
Determine the Allowable tensile force P which can be
applied to the plates shown. The AISC Specification A 36
Steel and 20 mm diameter A325 bolts placed in standard
holes with threads excluded from the shear plane are used
in a bearing type connection . Fy = 248 Mpa, Fu = 400 Mpa, Cochrane’s formula = S² / 4g
Fv =206.9 Mpa and
Fp =1.5 Fu Net width : Wn = W – hole + Ʃ S² / 4g

Problem 3.
A Splice shown in the fig. is consisting of 250 mm x 10 mm
steel plate with 5 rivets having a diameter of holes equal to
20 mm. A36 steel is specified with Fy = 248.8 Mpa. The Problem 4
minimum tensile strength, Fu = 400 Mpa Determine the FF. From the bracket shown, which consist ot two plates riveted
to the Column by 4-22 mm diameter rivets which is
subjected to an eccentric load P at an eccentric of 200 mm.
Allowable shearing stress of rivets is 100 Mpa. Determine
the safe load P
Formula:
Formula:
Where:
F – reaction
T – Couple or applied moment
A – Area of single rivet or bolt
ρ – Distance from centroid of the group of bolt or rivet to
any
bolt or rivet
P- Shearing stress
J - Polar moment of inertia of the group of bolt

Problem 6 Welded Connection
From the bracket shown, which consist ot two plates riveted \
to the Column by 4-22 mm diameter rivets which is NSCP Specifications for fillet welds
subjected to an eccentric load P at an eccentric of 200 mm.
Allowable shearing stress of rivets is 100 Mpa. Determine 1) Effective area : the effective area of fillet welds shall
the safe load P be taken as the effective length times the effective
throat thickness
Te = t for t ≤ 10 mm
Te = 0.707t + 3mm for t > 10 mm

Problem 7
Problem 8
Rivets 25 mm diameter are used in the connection shown.
Find the value of P so that the allowable stresses of 60 Mpa A 150 x 90 x 12 angular section is welded to a gusset plate
and 130 Mpa for shear and bearing, respectively, are not as shown in the figure. The angle is A 36 steel with Fy =248
exceeded Mpa. The weld is E 80 electrode with Fu = 550 Mpa. The
allowable tensile stress for the angle is .6Fy and the
allowable shear stress for the weld is .3Fu. The Area of the
angular section is 2751 mm2 with Y = 51 mm
