A double cover butt riveted joint is used to connect two flat plates of 200 mm
width and 14 mm thickness as show in the figure. There are twelve power driven
rivets of 20 mm diameter at a pitch of 50 mm in both directions on either side of
the plate. Two cover plates of 10 mm thickness are used. The capacity of the joint
in tension considering bearing and shear ONLY, with permissible bearing and
shear stresses as 300MPa respectively is
