Shearing of Rivet: Thus shear strength is:
π
P = n( d ) for lap joint, single strap butt joint

π
P = 2 n( d ) for double strap butt joint

s s
n = Number of rivets.
Crushing of the Plate (or) Rivets: The
crushing strength is: P = s d t n
c

where,
Maximum Shear Stress
s = allowable bearing stress between the rivet and

n = No. of rivets under crushing;
d = Diameter of rivet 147
t = Thickness of plate
