Solution to Problem 128 Bearing Stress

Problem 128
A W18 × 86 beam is riveted to a W24 × 117 girder by a connection similar to that in
Fig. 1-13. The diameter of the rivets is 7/8 in., and the angles are each L4 × 3-1/2 ×
3/8 in.. For each rivet, assume that the allowable stresses are τ = 15 ksi and σb = 32
ksi. Find the allowable load on the connection.

Summary of the problem

Given:
Shape of beam = W18 × 86
Shape of girder = W24 × 117
Shape of angles = L4 × 3-1/2 × 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.
1 7 2
V = τ A = 15[ π( ) (8) ]
4 8

V = 72.16  kips

Bearing strength on the girder:

The thickness of girder W24 × 117 is 0.550 inch while that of the angle clip L4 × 3-1/2 × 3/8 is 3/8 or
0.375 inch, thus, the critical in bearing is the clip.
7
P = σb Ab = 32[ (0.375)(8) ]
8

P = 84  kips

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.
7
P = σb Ab = 32[ (0.480)(4) ]
8

P = 53.76  kips

The allowable load on the connection is

P = 53.76 kips answer
