Thanks kootk.
However, I am new to this type of examples. I will see end result.
But can we ignore staggered rivets and consider it as if uniform for time saving and conservative approach. Just a thought. What do you think?
Attached file is sketch showing whitmore width-1.
Previous post has whitmore width-2.
Which is correct whitmore width of the member from sketch -1&2.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=72358a79-d671-4d58-a492-c9be9e19ef59&file=whitmore-1.JPG
which is correct whitmore width for gusset plate from attached sketch.
Is it whitmore-1 or whitmore-2?http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=0c83b2df-6ddb-4ca2-a2c7-a9b056405e28&file=whitmore-2.JPG
Actually my question was in attached drawing, what is minimum spacing in staggered rivets.
Is it 3+3=6" or 3" See attached file.
FYI. I am checking bearing resistance of bolt holes on gusset plate...
What is minimum spacing in case of staggered rivet conn in gusset plate analysis. Is it mini. in same row of rivets or adjacent row of staggered rivets?http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=619bdfd4-4dca-41a5-bf1b-ec682f882c18&file=Gp.JPG
