The figure shows a plate riveted to a vertical surface by 3 rivets at different sizes (first rivet 8D,
second rivet 6D and third rivet 12D). The plate thickness is shown in figure below.
Plate is made from cold drawn steel with Sy=490 MPa and Sut=590 MPa. Rivet material has
Sy=460 MPa and Su=550 MPa. Determine the maximum static load that can be carried by the
joint for a factor of safety of 4 for all possible failure modes.
