(b) Two sections 10 mm and 18 mm thick are to be jointed 5. A 300 ISF 8 mm is used as Tension member in a lattice girder. It
by Double Cover butt joint. The joint is double rivetted by is connected to a 12 mm gusset plate by 18 mm hand driven
cover plates each 8 mm thick. The load to be transformed rivets. Calculate the maximum force that the member can
carry if :
